Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (16 ounces/453 grams) breakfast sausage
- 1 (12-inch) pre-baked pizza crust
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Gravy Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Ground black pepper to taste
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Prepare the sausage gravy foundation by sizzling ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until thoroughly browned, approximately 5-7 minutes, then drain excess fat.
- Incorporate flour into the cooked sausage, creating a roux, and gradually pour milk, stirring consistently until the gravy thickens to a smooth consistency within 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position the pizza crust on a baking sheet, lightly brushing with olive oil.
- Spread half of the prepared sausage gravy evenly across the pizza crust, creating a flavorful base layer.
- Whisk eggs with milk in a separate bowl, then pour into a preheated, cooking spray-coated skillet over medium-high heat.
- Gently scramble the eggs, stirring occasionally, until fully set and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes.
- Distribute the scrambled eggs uniformly over the gravy-covered crust and generously sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, monitoring until the crust turns golden and cheese melts completely.
- Remove from the oven, slice into serving portions, and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Drain sausage thoroughly to prevent soggy pizza crust and reduce excess grease that can make the dish heavy.
- Use a pre-baked pizza crust or homemade dough for extra crispiness and personalized texture.
- Try different cheese varieties like pepper jack or smoked gouda to add unique flavor complexity.
- For gluten-free option, substitute regular flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend when making sausage gravy.
