For the Pizza Base
- 1 pre-baked 12-inch pizza crust

- Cooking spray
Toppings

Instructions
Prepare the Sausage Gravy
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula (5-7 minutes).
- Drain excess grease if needed, leaving a little to enhance the flavor.
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to coat evenly.
- Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the Pizza Base
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- If desired, brush the crust lightly with olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.
- Spread half of the sausage gravy evenly over the crust.
3. Make the Scrambled Eggs
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until fully combined.
- Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are soft-set (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Pizza
- Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage gravy layer.
- Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese generously on top.
- Add crispy fried onions or other toppings if desired.
5. Bake the Pizza
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
6. Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
- Garnish with additional crispy onions or fresh parsley if desired.
