Ingredients

For the Pizza

1 pizza dough or pre-made pizza crust
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 large eggs
Fresh parsley, for garnish

For the Sausage Gravy

1 pound breakfast sausage
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked.

Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving a little grease in the pan for flavor.

Step 3: Make the Sausage Gravy

Add butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat.

Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until lightly golden.

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Cook until the gravy thickens, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy mixture.

Step 4: Assemble the Pizza

Roll out the pizza dough onto the prepared pan.

Brush lightly with olive oil.

Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese across the top.

Carefully crack the eggs onto different sections of the pizza.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the egg whites are set.

Step 6: Serve

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and cracked black pepper if desired.

Slice and serve warm.

Tips for the Best Breakfast Pizza

Use spicy breakfast sausage for extra flavor.
Don’t overbake the eggs if you like runny yolks.
Pre-bake the crust for 3–4 minutes if you prefer an extra crispy base.
Add bacon, onions, or cheddar cheese for more variety.
