Instructions

1
Press the pizza dough out onto a sheet pan.
2
Using a fork, poke holes all over the surface of the dough.
3
Pre-bake the crust for about 5 minutes.
4
While the crust bakes, prepare the gravy. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
5
Whisk in the flour to form a roux and cook for one minute.
6
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer, cooking until thickened.
7
In a separate pan, scramble the eggs until they are slightly undercooked.
8
In another pan, cook and crumble the breakfast sausage until browned.
9
Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven. Spread the prepared gravy evenly over the crust to act as the sauce.
10
Sprinkle a layer of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend over the gravy.
11
Top with the slightly undercooked scrambled eggs.
12
Add the browned sausage crumbles over the eggs.
13
Top with the remaining cheese.
14
Bake for about 10 more minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
15
Slice and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pre-bake the pizza dough for 5–8 minutes before adding gravy to prevent a soggy crust.
Cook the sausage in small crumbles for even distribution and faster cooking on the final pizza.
Scramble the eggs slightly on the stovetop before topping the pizza so they finish at the same time as the cheese.
Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for both stretch and sharp flavor; mozzarella alone can taste bland.

Substitutions

Breakfast sausage → Italian sausage or turkey sausage (flavor and richness will differ slightly)
All-purpose flour → cornstarch (use 1.5 tbsp for gravy; result will be thinner)
Whole milk → half-and-half or heavy cream (gravy will be richer; reduce milk to 3/4 cup)
Cheddar cheese → Gruyere or smoked gouda (adds complexity; do not substitute all mozzarella)

Storage & make-ahead

Cool completely, then refrigerate covered for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 325°F oven for 10–12 minutes until warmed through; do not microwave, as it toughens the crust and eggs.

Common Questions

Can I make this pizza ahead of time?

Yes. Prepare the gravy and cook the sausage the night before, then assemble and bake the morning of. Do not scramble eggs in advance; cook them fresh just before topping.

What temperature should the sausage gravy be when spreading on dough?

Spread the gravy while warm but not piping hot (around 120–130°F) to avoid cooking the bottom crust too quickly before the eggs and cheese are added.

How do I keep the crust from getting soggy?

Pre-bake the dough for 5–8 minutes until lightly set before adding the gravy. This creates a barrier and helps the crust stay crispy.

Can I use store-bought biscuit dough instead of pizza dough?

Biscuit dough will work but will create a thicker, softer crust. Press it out to pizza thickness or use 2–3 cans to cover a sheet pan fully.

How do I know when the eggs are done cooking on the pizza?

Bake until the eggs are set but still slightly creamy in the center (about 12–15 minutes at 375°F). They will continue to cook slightly after removal from the oven.
