Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

How to make Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If using raw pizza dough, roll it out and partially bake it on a baking sheet or pizza stone for about 7 minutes.

Step 2: In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

Step 3: Add butter to the skillet with the sausage drippings. Once melted, whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Slowly pour in the milk while whisking, then bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the cooked sausage.

Step 5: Spread the sausage gravy over the pizza crust. Top with scrambled eggs and a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.

Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden.

Step 7: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. Add a dash of red pepper flakes or hot sauce if desired.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

• Use bacon or ham instead of sausage.
• Add diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra veggies.
• Swap mozzarella for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Make it biscuit-style by using biscuit dough instead of pizza dough.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for best results, about 8-10 minutes.
• Microwave individual slices for 30-45 seconds.
• Not ideal for freezing due to the gravy texture, but freshly baked is best!
