Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza: A Savory Brunch Delight


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Dough

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Roll out your pizza dough onto a greased baking sheet or pizza stone. For a crispier crust, lightly sprinkle the sheet with cornmeal before adding the dough.

Step 2: Make the Sausage Gravy

  • In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the sausage and stir until the flour is well incorporated.
  • Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a rich gravy (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside once the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza

  • Spread the sausage gravy evenly across the prepared pizza dough, creating a thick layer of savory goodness.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top, ensuring full coverage.

Step 4: Prepare the Scrambled Eggs

  • In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour them into the pan and scramble them gently until just slightly undercooked (they will finish cooking in the oven).
  • Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese layer on the pizza.

Step 5: Bake the Pizza

  • Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  • Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a touch of freshness (optional).
  • Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve hot. Enjoy your savory breakfast masterpiece!
