Get ready to rise and dine with this pizza! Kudos to the pizza pioneer, Chef Debbie, from North Carolina! We tried a slice of her iconic breakfast pizza, which was love at first bite.
Our mouths were watering, so we kneaded to make it. So, without further ado, we present "Debbie's Breakfast Pizza," topped generously with local Bright Leaf Bacon and Fresh Country Style Sausage. It's a grate morning when you wake up to the aroma of this pizza baking to crispy, cheesy perfection.

- (1) Pack of 12 oz. Bright Leaf Bacon
- (1) Pack of Bright Leaf Fresh Country Style Bulk Sausage
- (1) Pizza Pie/ Ball of Dough

Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to a toasty 425 degrees F.
- Prepare the Pizza Base: Lightly rub olive oil over your pizza base and bake it in the preheated oven for 6-7 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, brown the fresh sausage, then drain the excess grease.
- Prepare the Gravy: Follow the instructions on the gravy mix packet to prepare it. Combine the gravy and sausage in the skillet and simmer on low heat.
- Air Fry the Bacon: Cook the bacon in the air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. Adjust the time based on the bacon thickness and air fryer model. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- Air Fry the Tater Tots: While the bacon is cooling, cook the tater tots in the air fryer until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Cook the Eggs: In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your preference on medium heat.
- Assemble the Pizza: Remove the pre-cooked pizza pie from the oven and start building your breakfast pizza:
- Spread the sausage and gravy mixture as the sauce base.
- Add a generous layer of cheese.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and add the cooked eggs.
- Arrange the crispy tater tots evenly.
- Finish with a sprinkle of more cheese.
