How to Make Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza
Making this pizza is a very straightforward affair. If you’ve ever made a big breakfast, you can make this pizza with no issues.
Step 1: Pre-Bake the Crust
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the pizza crust on the baking sheet and pre-bake for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Sausage Gravy
Cook sausage over medium heat in a large skillet until done. Drain the grease and return the sausage to the pan. Then, add butter to the skillet and melt. Sprinkle flour over the sausage, stir, and cook for a couple of minutes. Finally, pour milk into the skillet, stir, and cook until thickened to your desired gravy consistency. Pour into a medium bowl and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Scrambled Eggs
Add a tablespoon of butter to the same skillet and pour in the whisked eggs. Cook until almost done.
Step 4: Make the Pizza
Brush melted butter on the edges of the pizza. Then, spoon the sausage gravy over the dough and top with the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and bake for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- It’s important that you pre-bake the crust so it’s fully cooked after baking the pizza.
- Stop cooking your eggs when they look firm but still glossy and a bit wet. They’ll finish cooking in the oven.
- Using the same skillet for the eggs that you used for the gravy gives you even more flavor.
Variations
- Try adding breakfast veggies like diced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
- If you’re feeling fancy, you can make this pizza with homemade pizza dough.
- For an added kick of flavor and heat, try adding a bit of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the eggs.
