Ingredients:

For the Biscuit Crust:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 3/4 cup milk

For the Sausage Gravy:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Toppings:

• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
• Freshly cracked black pepper (to garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the chilled butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add the milk, stirring until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth.
6. Roll out the dough into a circle of about 12 inches in diameter and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake the biscuit crust for 10-12 minutes or until just golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Sausage Gravy

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir well to combine.
3. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously, to prevent lumps.
4. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat.

Step 3: Assemble the Breakfast Pizza

1. Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the baked biscuit crust.
2. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the gravy.
3. Carefully crack the eggs one by one over the pizza, spacing them out evenly.
4. Sprinkle green onions and crumbled bacon (if using) over the top.

Step 4: Bake the Breakfast Pizza

1. Place the assembled pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
2. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
3. Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper before serving.
