Ingredients

For the Biscuit Crust:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (113g)
• 3/4 cup milk (180ml)

For the Sausage Gravy:

• 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (450g)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30g)
• 2 cups whole milk (480ml)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembling the Pizza:

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (110g)
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet.
2. Prepare the Biscuit Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until a dough forms.
3. Make the Sausage Gravy: In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir, cooking for another minute. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until thickened, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
4. Assemble the Pizza: Press the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet to form a crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
5. Spread the prepared sausage gravy over the baked crust. Create small wells in the gravy and crack the eggs into them. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
6. Bake for an additional 12-15 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
