Remember the Pizza Braid I had posted just a few weeks ago?? It's been a popular recipe, which is no surprise to me, given how easy & delicious it is!
So when I had an extra tube of refrigerated pizza dough in the fridge one morning, I couldn't help but imagine a similar recipe with a breakfast-type filling! Not only was it absolutely DELICIOUS (and the whole family loved it), it's easy to customize with your favorite breakfast flavors!
How to Make a Breakfast Braid
First, you'll want to cook the sausage and prepare the scrambled eggs. As you'll see in the recipe notes, if you're low on time, there are a couple simple shortcuts to make this even simpler!
Now it's time to put the braid together and send it into the oven! They say "a picture is worth a thousand words" so these photos should help visualize what the next steps look like!
Then it's time to head to the oven! How pretty is this?!
Once the braid comes out of the oven, you'll brush it with melted butter for a lovely, shiny golden brown topping. Cut into slices and serve warm!
Customize the Breakfast Braid
Of the many things I love about this braid, I especially love that it's customizable based on your family's preferences. Here are a few things to consider!
- Add different kinds of meat - try sausage, crumbled bacon, diced ham, etc!
- Add more veggies or skip altogether - try green or yellow bell peppers, onions, green onions, mushrooms, etc!
- Try adding different kinds of cheese - how about pepperjack, Monterey jack, sharp cheddar, etc!
- Let me know what you try, I'd love to see your creations!!
