Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned (about 5-7 minutes).
• If necessary, drain excess grease from the skillet.
• Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat evenly.

• Season with black pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. Set Up the Pizza Base

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet. If desired, brush the crust lightly with olive oil for added flavor.
• Spread half of the prepared sausage gravy evenly over the pizza crust.

3. Cook the Scrambled Eggs

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup of milk until well blended.
• Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
• Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still soft (about 5 minutes).

4. Assemble the Pizza

• Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the gravy-covered crust.
• Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded Cheddar cheese on top.

5. Bake the Pizza

• Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Garnish and Serve

• Sprinkle crispy fried onions over the top for added crunch.
• Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!
