Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package breakfast sausage
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed (Optional)
1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust
Cooking spray
6 eggs
¼ cup milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or as desired

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the sausage in the hot skillet until browned, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once the sausage is cooked, drain and discard the grease. Stir in the flour until it’s fully dissolved, then add 2 cups of milk. Stir occasionally until the gravy reaches your desired consistency, which should take around 10 minutes. Season the gravy with ground black pepper to taste.

2. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

3. Assemble the Pizza

Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil. Spread half of the prepared sausage gravy over the olive oil layer.

4. Scramble the Eggs

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and warm it over medium-high heat. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup of milk. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set, which should take about 5 minutes.

5. Top and Bake the Pizza

Top the pizza with the scrambled eggs and sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the top is bubbling, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes.

Serving Tips
