Description
Sausage Gravy Pizza is a delicious twist on traditional breakfast, combining savory sausage gravy with melted cheese on a crispy pizza crust.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 oz breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the pizza dough on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza pan.
- Cook the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Remove excess grease if needed.
- Make the gravy: Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk for about 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Cook for 3–5 minutes, until thick and creamy.
- Season with black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Stir in the cooked sausage.
- Assemble: Spread about 1–1½ cups sausage gravy over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar evenly over the gravy. Add Parmesan on top.
- Bake for 12–16 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
