Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 12 eggs, whisked
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 Pillsbury classic pizza crust
Pizza Base and Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon butter (for brushing)
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 400°F (200°C) and positioning a parchment-lined baking sheet for crisp pizza foundation.
- Unfurl the pizza crust onto the prepared sheet and initiate pre-baking for approximately 10 minutes to establish a sturdy base.
- Transform the breakfast sausage in a skillet, rendering it thoroughly cooked and removing excess lipids to ensure pure meat flavor.
- Reintroduce sausage to the pan, incorporating butter and creating a roux by dusting flour across the meat, stirring methodically to develop rich complexity.
- Gradually introduce milk into the sausage mixture, integrating seasonings while continuously whisking to craft a velvety, luxurious gravy with perfect viscosity.
- Transfer the completed gravy to a separate vessel, reserving the skillet for egg preparation.
- Melt additional butter in the same pan and introduce whisked eggs, gently folding and cooking until they reach a soft, pillowy consistency.
- Enhance the pre-baked crust’s perimeter with a delicate brush of melted butter for golden, crisp edges.
- Lavishly spread the sausage gravy across the crust, creating a sumptuous foundation.
- Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly over the gravy layer, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Crown the pizza with a generous cascade of shredded cheese, melting into every crevice.
- Return the assembled pizza to the oven, allowing it to bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese becomes gloriously molten and edges turn deeply golden.
- Extract from the oven, slice into tantalizing portions, and present this indulgent breakfast creation.
Notes
- Customize the sausage gravy by adjusting seasonings like black pepper, sage, or red pepper flakes for a personalized flavor profile.
- Swap traditional breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or plant-based alternatives to accommodate different dietary preferences and reduce overall fat content.
- Pre-baking the pizza crust ensures a crispy base that prevents soggy texture and helps the toppings cook evenly without becoming waterlogged.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or a blend of cheeses to add depth and complexity to the breakfast pizza’s flavor.
