Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Pillsbury classic pizza crust
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 12 eggs, whisked
- 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pizza crust onto the prepared sheet and pre-bake for 10 minutes.
- Sausage Gravy: While the crust is pre-baking, prepare the sausage gravy. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until fully done. Drain any excess grease and return the sausage to the pan. Stir in the butter until melted, then sprinkle flour over the sausage. Stir well and cook for a couple of minutes. Gradually pour in the milk and add the seasonings, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Once done, set aside in a medium bowl.
- Scrambled Eggs: In the same skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter and pour in the whisked eggs. Cook the eggs until they’re almost set, keeping them slightly runny as they will continue to cook in the oven.
- Assemble the Pizza: Brush the pre-baked crust’s edges with melted butter. Spoon the sausage gravy evenly over the crust, followed by the almost-cooked scrambled eggs. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
