Create a hearty, comforting brunch favorite by topping a flaky crust with creamy homemade sausage gravy, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheese. This is the ultimate comfort food mashup for weekend mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 oz) tube refrigerated pizza crust or crescent roll dough
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, casing removed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust or dough package directions. If using crescent roll dough, press it into a 12-inch circle on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake the crust until lightly golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  2. While the crust bakes, make the sausage gravy. Brown the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and fat. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring often, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the salt, pepper, and sage. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Keep warm.
  6. In a separate small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny (sunny-side up style). Alternatively, scramble the eggs separately until just set.
  7. Spread the warm sausage gravy evenly over the partially baked pizza crust, leaving a small border for the edge.
  8. Arrange the cooked eggs over the gravy. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese and the pepper jack cheese over the top.
  9. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the crust edges are golden brown.
  10. Slice and serve this savory morning casserole immediately.

Notes

  • For a flakier base, use refrigerated biscuit dough instead of pizza crust and press it into the pan.
  • If you prefer a richer gravy, use half-and-half instead of whole milk.
  • You can prepare the sausage gravy ahead of time and reheat it gently before assembling the pizza.
