Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- Pre-made or homemade pizza dough (enough for 1 pizza)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Cook the Breakfast Sausage:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and crumbled, about 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
-
Make the Sausage Gravy:
- Leave about 2 tablespoons of sausage drippings in the skillet. Add ¼ cup of flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of whole milk, stirring until smooth. Cook over medium heat until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
-
Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), or follow the instructions on your pizza dough package.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
-
Assemble the Pizza:
- Brush the pizza dough lightly with olive oil. Spread a generous layer of sausage gravy over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the gravy. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
-
Add the Eggs:
- Create small wells in the cheese using the back of a spoon. Carefully pour the lightly beaten eggs into the wells. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
-
Bake the Pizza:
- Place the assembled pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is bubbly, and the eggs are set to your liking.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or green onions. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Prepare the sausage gravy in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat before using.
- Customize Toppings: Add crumbled bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or diced bell peppers for extra flavor.
- Check Egg Doneness: Adjust the baking time to ensure the eggs are cooked to your preference—soft and runny or firm and fully set.
