Detailed Directions and Instructions
Cook the Sausage
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage to the hot skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until it is browned. Drain and discard any excess grease from the skillet.
Make the Gravy
Stir in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour into the browned sausage until the flour is dissolved. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until the gravy reaches your desired consistency, about 10 minutes. Season the gravy with ground black pepper to taste.
Preheat the Oven
While the gravy is cooking, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Prepare the Pizza Crust
Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet. Brush the surface of the crust with olive oil. Spread half of the prepared gravy over the oiled pizza crust.
Scramble the Eggs
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium-high heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 eggs and ¼ cup of milk. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set, which should take about 5 minutes.
Assemble the Pizza
Top the pizza with the scrambled eggs and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the Pizza
Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, which should take between 10 to 15 minutes.
