Pizza Crust
- 1 can Refrigerated Pizza Crust
For the Gravy
- 1 lb Breakfast Sausage
- 3 tbsp Salted Butter
- 3 tbsp All Purpose Flour
- 2 cups Half and Half
- Salt and Pepper to taste
For the Scrambled Eggs
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Milk
- 1 tbsp Salted Butter
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Toppings
- 8 oz Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 lb Cooked and Crumbled Bacon
- 1/2 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 10 x 15 inch baking sheet. Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust onto the greased baking sheet, poke holes with a fork to prevent bubbling, and pre-bake it for 5 minutes to set the base.
- Make the Sausage Gravy: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and fully cooked. Add the butter and flour to the sausage, cooking the mixture for 2-3 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Scrambled Eggs: Whisk together the eggs and milk. In another skillet, melt the salted butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking and season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the cooked sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked pizza crust. Next, layer the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the eggs, then finish with a layer of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 7-9 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the crust has turned golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast pizza!

- Store the slices in a large freezer bag for easy future meals.
- To reheat, remove slices from the freezer and warm them in the microwave or an air fryer until heated through.
