Ingredients
1 ball pizza dough
1/2 pound breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Do not drain the fat.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to create a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
3. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
4. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone or cast iron, preheat that in the oven as well.
5. Roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated surface.
6. Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the dough, leaving a border.
7. Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
8. Use a spoon to create small wells in the cheese and gently crack an egg into each.
9. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the crust is golden, the cheese is bubbly, and the egg whites are set.
10. Remove from oven, garnish with parsley, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
For best results, crack eggs into small bowls first to control placement on the pizza.
Don’t overbake—keep a close eye to maintain soft yolks and a golden crust.
Use a hot pizza stone or skillet to boost crust crispiness.
