How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to whip up your breakfast pizza.

Cook the sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spatula until it’s fully browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Prepare the gravy

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage, stirring to coat evenly. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with black pepper to taste, then set aside.

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the pizza crust

Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet. If desired, brush the surface with a bit of olive oil for added flavor.

Assemble the pizza

Spread half of the sausage gravy evenly over the pizza crust.

Scramble the eggs

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup of milk. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Pour in the egg mixture. Cook the eggs, stirring gently, until they’re just set but still soft (about 5 minutes).

Finish the pizza

Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the gravy-covered crust. Top generously with shredded Cheddar cheese.

Bake the pizza

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Sprinkle crispy fried onions on top for added crunch. Slice and serve warm!
