Here’s a recipe for Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza, including ingredients, instructions, and approximate nutrition information:
Ingredients:
For the pizza dough:
- 1 pound (450g) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
For the sausage gravy:
- 8 ounces (225g) breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480ml) milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the toppings:
- 1 cup (115g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using store-bought pizza dough, follow the package instructions for pre-baking, if necessary.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown.
- Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the gravy, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the gravy.
- Carefully crack the eggs onto the pizza, spacing them evenly apart. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
