Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust
Cooking spray
6 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (or as desired)
Directions:
Cook Sausage and Make Gravy:
Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and discard. Stir in the flour until fully dissolved. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, which should take about 10 minutes. Season with ground black pepper to taste.
Preheat Oven:
While your sausage gravy is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare Pizza Crust:
Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet. If desired, brush the crust with olive oil to enhance crispiness. Spread half of the sausage gravy evenly over the crust.
Scramble Eggs:
In a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray, warm over medium-high heat. Whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup milk in a bowl, then pour into the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are fully set, about 5 minutes.
Assemble Pizza:
Top the prepared pizza crust with the scrambled eggs and shredded Cheddar cheese.
Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and slice the pizza into servings. For an extra touch, drizzle or dip each slice in the remaining sausage gravy.
Serving Tips:
Serve Hot: For the best flavor and texture, serve the pizza hot from the oven. The cheese will be melty, and the crust will be perfectly crispy.
Add Toppings: Garnish with additional toppings such as fresh herbs (like chives or parsley), extra black pepper, or a sprinkle of hot sauce for a bit of extra kick.
Pairing: This breakfast pizza pairs well with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad to balance the richness.
Dipping Option: Use the remaining sausage gravy as a dipping sauce for the pizza slices for added flavor.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 3 days.
Freezing: To freeze, wrap the pizza slices tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat individual slices in a toaster oven or on a skillet over medium heat for a crispy crust.
Avoid Microwave: While you can use a microwave to reheat, it might make the crust less crispy. If using a microwave, cover the pizza with a damp paper towel to help maintain moisture.

FAQs:
Can I use a homemade pizza crust instead of a pre-baked one?
Yes, you can use a homemade pizza crust if you prefer. Roll out your dough to fit a 12-inch pizza pan, pre-bake it according to your recipe’s instructions, and then proceed with the recipe as directed. The pre-baking helps ensure the crust stays crispy and supports the toppings well.
Can I make the sausage gravy ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the sausage gravy up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat the gravy gently on the stovetop before using it to assemble your pizza.
Can I freeze the breakfast pizza?
Yes, you can freeze the breakfast pizza. After baking, let the pizza cool completely. Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Certainly! Feel free to substitute the Cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese or a blend of cheeses. Options like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan can add different flavors and textures to your breakfast pizza.
Conclusion:
Enjoy a deliciously unique breakfast that brings together the comforting flavors of a traditional southern breakfast with the fun of pizza. Our Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza is sure to become a new favorite in your breakfast rotation!
