Ingredients For Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage

  • 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour

  • 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) whole milk

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

For the Pizza

  • 1 (13.8 oz / 390 g) can refrigerated pizza dough or biscuit dough

  • 6 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheddar-mozzarella blend)

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy

    • In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it into crumbles.

    • Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes.

    • Gradually whisk in milk. Continue stirring until thickened (about 5–7 minutes).

    • Season with pepper and salt. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. Prepare the Pizza Base

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

    • Roll out pizza or biscuit dough onto a greased baking sheet or pizza stone. Pre-bake for 5–6 minutes to avoid a soggy crust.

  3. Make the Scrambled Eggs

    • In a bowl, whisk eggs with 1/4 cup milk.

    • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, pour in eggs, and cook gently, stirring until just set (they will finish cooking in the oven).

  4. Assemble the Pizza

    • Spread sausage gravy evenly over pre-baked crust.

    • Distribute scrambled eggs on top.

    • Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the eggs.

  5. Bake

    • Bake for 10–12 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.

  6. Finish and Serve

    • Sprinkle with sliced green onions. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use homemade or store-bought pizza crust, biscuit dough, or even crescent roll dough.

  • Make the sausage gravy a day ahead and refrigerate for quicker morning prep.

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage gravy.

  • Can be frozen after baking — reheat in the oven for best texture.

Tips

  • Avoid overcooking the scrambled eggs; they should be soft since they’ll cook more in the oven.

  • For a crispy crust, use a pizza stone preheated in the oven.

  • You can swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, Colby, or pepper jack for a little kick.

  • Add extras like cooked bacon bits or sautéed mushrooms for variety.
