How to make thick homemade sausage gravy step-by-step
In a pan, saute and brown the sausage until no longer pink. Takes around 5-6 minutes. *Do not drain the grease, this will be used to make the gravy.
Sprinkle 2 Tbs over the top of the sausage and stir.
To the pan, add 2 cups of milk. Add the seasonings and stir everything together.
Let the gravy simmer until it reduces by a third, for about 5 minutes. *You want it to be thick and creamy, not saucy which will make the whole pizza soggy.
This recipe would be great for biscuits and gravy too!
How to make this breakfast pizza recipe
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
On a large sheet pan add parchment paper. Unroll the pizza crust and roll it out on top of the parchment paper so it is the size of the baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 6 minutes.
Add the sausage gravy to the top of the crust. Spread around to every edge.
Spread the cheese over the top evenly.
Create 6 wells on the top of the pizza then gently crack an egg into each well.
Sprinkle with the chopped green onions.
Place the pizza into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Tips & Variations
- Adjust the time for pre-baking the crust by 1 minute for how you prefer your eggs on top. For mine, I pre-baked the crust for 6 minutes, then baked with the eggs on top for 15 minutes and the eggs came out over-easy.

How to make in slow cooker??
I would say that while I have seen a few recipes online for slow cooker pizza, I do not know how well the eggs would set in the crockpot.
Pizza for breakfast?? I’m in! Looks delicious. 🙂
Pizza is good for all meals of the day! Thank you, Carrie.
This pizza takes breakfast to a whole new level! Love that you use homemade gravy on it, yum!
The gravy really does make it. Thanks so much, Biana.
Woah this is so decadent! Cannot wait to make it for my husband !
I hope you guys enjoy it! Thanks, Blair.
I’ve become so addicted to this delicious breakfast pizza that I now make it every few weeks! The entire family loves it!
Thank you, Mary Anne. I love hearing that you are enjoying it.
This looks so good! Do you think it would be ok to make the gravy a day ahead to save on morning prep time? Or would it separate and get weird? Thank you!
I think it would be perfectly fine to make the gravy beforehand. I often have leftovers of this pizza and they reheat beautifully so I would think that making the gravy the day before would work well too. I hope you enjoy it, thank you, Diana!
