Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 1 (16 ounce) package breakfast sausage
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Ground black pepper to taste
Pizza Base
- 1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Scrambled Eggs
- 6 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- Cooking spray
Topping
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or as desired)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes. Once cooked, drain the grease and discard it to maintain a less greasy gravy.
- Make the Gravy: Stir the all-purpose flour into the cooked sausage, ensuring it dissolves completely. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook the mixture until the gravy thickens to your preferred consistency, about 10 minutes. Season the gravy generously with ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pizza.
- Prepare the Pizza Crust: Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet. Brush the surface with olive oil to add a slight crisp and flavor. Spread half of the prepared sausage gravy evenly over the oiled crust as the base layer.
- Cook the Scrambled Eggs: Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and warm it over medium-high heat. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and ¼ cup milk thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the hot skillet and cook while stirring frequently until the eggs are fully set but still moist, about 5 minutes.
- Assemble the Pizza: Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the gravy-covered crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the eggs.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese on top is melted and bubbling.
Notes
- Use a pre-baked pizza crust to ensure the base crisps up nicely during baking.
- Adjust the amount of black pepper in the gravy according to your taste preference.
- For added flavor, you can use sharp cheddar or a mix of cheeses.
- Cooking the sausage thoroughly before adding flour prevents lumps in the gravy.
- Serving size is approximately 1 slice if cut into 8 pieces.
