Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 13.8 oz Pillsbury pizza crust
- 1 Tablespoon cornmeal for dusting
Egg Mixture
- 8 whole large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup country gravy
- 10 oz breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey jack)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 425º F. Grease or spray a large sheet pan with non-stick spray and sprinkle evenly with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Cook sausage: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook for 6-7 minutes until fully cooked through. Remove sausage and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Prepare crust: Open the tube of pizza dough and spread it onto the prepared pan, forming about a 14×10-inch rectangle. Use your hands or a rolling pin to even out the dough. Poke holes evenly across the crust with a fork to prevent puffing. Bake the crust in the oven for 7 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Scramble eggs: While the crust bakes, beat the eggs together with milk in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet over medium heat and stir frequently to make lightly scrambled eggs. Remove from heat once cooked.
- Assemble pizza: After removing the crust from the oven, spread the country gravy evenly over the crust; this will serve as the sauce. Layer the cooked sausage pieces over the gravy, then scatter the scrambled eggs evenly. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Bake to finish: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-9 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is completely melted. Remove from the oven and slice to serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute the country gravy with your favorite white gravy or béchamel sauce for a different flavor.
- Use a mix of cheeses you prefer or have on hand to customize the pizza taste.
- Ensure to drain the sausage well to avoid a greasy pizza.
- For crispier crust, bake the bottom of the crust a minute or two longer before adding toppings.
