Brunch Pizza Squares
Savory brunch pizza squares combine sausage or ham with cheesy eggs on a flaky crescent crust, making a hearty dish perfect for weekend breakfasts or brunch gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Unroll crescent roll dough into a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Press dough 1/2 inch up the sides.
- Sprinkle the meat (sausage or ham) evenly over the dough.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the meat and dough.
- Bake uncovered at 400°F for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using leftover cooked vegetables or different cheeses to customize your Brunch Pizza Squares. If you don’t have crescent rolls, pizza dough or puff pastry can work as substitutes. For an extra flavor boost, add herbs like chives or parsley to the egg mixture. Make sure to grease the pan well to prevent sticking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Brunch Pizza Squares warm, cut into squares, and consider pairing with a fresh side salad or fruit for a balanced meal. For a delightful brunch spread, complement with Franci'S Famous Cheesecake or your favorite breakfast pastries. These squares can also be enjoyed as a hearty snack any time of the day.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place squares on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for around 10-15 minutes until heated through. You can also microwave individual squares for a quick snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Brunch Pizza Squares ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dish in advance. Assemble the pizza squares and store them in the refrigerator before baking. When ready to serve, simply pop them in the oven. This is perfect for brunch gatherings or busy mornings when you need a quick meal.
What can I substitute for the meat?
If you're looking for a vegetarian option, you can omit the meat entirely or use ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or a mix of bell peppers. You can also try adding crumbled tofu or plant-based sausage for a protein boost while keeping it meat-free.
How do I know when the pizza squares are done baking?
The Brunch Pizza Squares are done when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean if the egg is fully cooked. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
