Hashbrown Crust Breakfast Pizza

Growing up, one of our favorite things to have for dinner was breakfast! We loved anything from pancakes to waffles and French toast to fried eggs. French toast was my dad’s specialty and it is what he would make us on those rare occasions when my mom wasn’t home to make dinner.

My husband and kids love breakfast any time of the day. Our favorites include omelets, egg bakes, pancakes and breakfast sandwiches. And of course, everyone’s favorite side dish is breakfast potatoes!

Potatoes are kid-friendly because they taste good. Mom’s love them because they are easy to prepare and it is a great way to sneak in some nutrition!

Hash Brown Breakfast Pizza Ingredients

This recipe starts with Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns. Simply Potatoes are my go-to potatoes for family breakfast solutions.

I also use them in casseroles and when I make soups like my slow cooker chicken pot pie soup. I love the convenience! There’s nothing to peel or shred and I save on dishes.

My family loved having a delicious, warm, cheesy breakfast! I love how easy it was to make. It was such a big hit that I am going to make it for dinner one night when everyone is home to enjoy it.

Also, with the holidays just around the corner, this would be a great meal to serve overnight guests!

    Sounds wonderful! Silly question, but I assume when you say “scramble the eggs” you mean to scramble them & cook them also? I only ask because my recipe uses raw, scrambled eggs, but hash browns on top, so getting soggy would not be an issue. Thanks for your time!

      Yes, I used cooked scrambled eggs. I updated the instructions so hopefully it is more clear. Enjoy!

      It is great this way….I used Canadian Bacon (pizza size) and have sometimes added onion or blanched asparagus (if we are eating it for supper).

    Sounds great…I wonder if drizzling hollandaise over the finished pizza might step this up just a notch 🙂

    I just made this recipe on my pizza stone with a few changes:
    1/2 bag frozen hash browns and thawed in the microwave.
    Melt 2T butter in larger bowl – add hash browns to butter -add salt and pepper to taste and mix by hand. Pat it out on pizza stone -not too thick
    Baked at 425 on pizza stone for 25 min.
    While baking I fried ground sausage with chopped frozen onion and chopped red peppers – then let it set to drain in fine strainer.
    Scramble 4 eggs seasoned with garlic salt – but leave them very soft.
    Top hash browns with sausage mixture, then top with softly scrambled eggs.
    Sprinkle with shredded Mexican style cheese.
    Bake 15 minutes.
    It was wonderful.

    Could olive oil or coconut oil be substituted? Is it possible to freeze this when done, and reheat?

      Hi Arnie,
      Yes, you could use another oil and yes, I think that it would freeze well! Enjoy!

    Can you use fresh potatoes that are grated as hash browns? I realize that this post is a commercial for Simply Potatoes but we prefer to use fresh unprocessed ingredients when possible. The recipe looks great.

          I’m not sure how many ounces are in the package but the nutrition facts on the Simply Potatoes website says that there is 3 1/2 cups of potatoes in the package.

            OK thank you. I believe one cup is 8 oz if that is ever reliant in the future for you.

    I made this on Christmas morning and it was a hit! I used half a bag of frozen hash browns (for those who asked about in previous posts) and it came out perfect. I also just scrambled the egg and poured the egg over the crust once baked and added the toppings and baked again as instructed instead of of scrambling and cooking prior to baking a second time. The result was very tasty. Thank you for sharing this recipe, it’s a keeper for sure!!

    Why does it have to be baked for so long the second time? Don’t the eggs get rubbery after continuing to cook for another 25 minutes? Have you e er tried adding any veggies like onion, peppers? I love crunchy hashbrowns and this sounds neat!

    • Tonia says

      December 19, 2014 at 10:02 pm

      I like the hashbrowns to be well done, the cheese has to melt and the ham has to get hot. My eggs did not get rubbery because they were covered with cheese. I have not tried adding veggies because my family is picky but I would love it!

    have you made this ahead? i wanted to bring it for christmas morning to my grandma’s house but i won’t get there until 11 am, do ou think it would hold up if i made the crust and toppings ahead of time, stored them seperately and had her put it al together and bake that morning?
