Breakfast Braid Sausage Eggs (Printable Recipe)

Flaky braid with sausage, eggs, peppers, and cheddar wrapped in golden pizza dough for a warm and festive breakfast.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 1 tube (10 oz) refrigerated pizza dough

02 - 12 oz ground breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled

03 - 4 large eggs

04 - 2 tbsp milk

05 - 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

06 - 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

07 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

08 - 2 tbsp butter, melted

01 - Unroll the pizza dough onto a parchment-lined baking pan and gently stretch into a rectangle.

02 - Brown sausage in a skillet until fully cooked and caramelized. Drain excess fat.

03 - Whisk eggs with milk, black pepper, and diced bell peppers. Cook in a nonstick skillet until just set and fluffy.

04 - Place cooked sausage down the center third of the dough. Layer scrambled eggs over sausage and top with cheddar cheese.

05 - Cut 1-inch strips along both long sides of dough. Fold strips over filling in a crisscross pattern, tucking in ends.

06 - Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes until golden. Brush with melted butter and cool briefly before slicing.

01 - For a vegetarian variation, substitute sautéed mushrooms and spinach for the sausage.

02 - Let the braid cool at least five minutes before slicing to keep the filling intact.

03 - Leftovers reheat best in the oven to maintain a crisp crust.
