It doesn’t have to take a lot of time to make a meal that includes some of the best parts of a great breakfast: over-easy eggs, savory sausage gravy, lots of cheese, and all the carbs you can handle.
The key to this pizza is focusing on the homemade sausage gravy and using a pre-made crust so you don’t have to wait for the dough to rise. This way, you can have a slice of one of the most perfect foods on the planet on your breakfast table in 30 minutes.
Once you bite into this breakfast pizza, you’re going to want to add it to your morning breakfast routine along with pancakes, casseroles, and cinnamon rolls.
How to make homemade sausage gravy:
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.
How to make Breakfast Pizza with over-easy eggs on top:
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 and chopped green onions over the top evenly.
Create 6 wells on the top of the pizza then gently crack an egg into each well.
Place the pizza into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Tips for cooking eggs in the oven on top of a pizza:
- 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.
Slice into 6 large pieces so that each piece has an egg in it. And here you are……
