Creating this delightful dish requires a few simple ingredients that come together to form an unforgettable breakfast experience. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pre-made pizza crust or homemade dough
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

If you’re feeling adventurous or need substitutions, you can swap the mozzarella for gouda for a smoky flavor or use turkey sausage for a leaner option.
Instructions
Making this pizza is a joyful process that brings back fond memories of cooking with my sister Ouma. Follow these steps to create your own masterpiece:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. If you’re using homemade dough, roll it out to fit your pizza pan.
- In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to your desired gravy consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pizza crust.
- Top with the cooked sausage, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese.
- Crack the eggs over the pizza, spacing them evenly apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the eggs are set to your liking.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
And there you have it—a delightful breakfast dish that brings the warmth of family traditions to your table.
