Ingredients:
8 oz. Italian sausage
1 2.75 oz. package country sausage gravy mix
Water (according to package instructions)
2 8 oz. crescent dough sheets
8 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
8 oz. shredded Colby & Monterey Jack cheese
5 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the Sausage and Gravy:
Cook the Italian sausage in a large skillet until it is no longer pink.
Make the sausage gravy according to the directions on the package, then add the cooked sausage to the gravy.
Preheat and Prepare the Dough:
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Spray a 10×15 inch baking sheet with oil.
Place one crescent dough sheet on top of the other on the baking sheet. Press and spread the dough to fit the pan, creating a slightly thicker edge.
Bake for 8-9 minutes, until the edges just start to brown. Remove from the oven and set aside. Keep the oven on.
Prepare the Eggs:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
Using the skillet the sausage was cooked in, melt the butter over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the melted butter and let it just start to cook for a minute before stirring.
Stir the eggs frequently, about every 20-30 seconds, to prevent sticking.
Assemble and Bake the Pizza:
Once the dough is out of the oven, spread the sausage gravy mixture evenly across the dough.
Spoon the scrambled eggs over the gravy.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs and top with chopped bacon.
Bake for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes:
You can use breakfast sausage or mild sausage for the Italian sausage in this recipe.
For a meatier option, try adding a cup of prepackaged meat lovers’ crumbles to the gravy.
If crescent dough sheets are not available, you can use 2 cans of crescent rolls instead.
Thick-cut bacon adds extra flavor, but you can use your preferred type of bacon.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer for the best results.
Tips:
To prevent the eggs from sticking to the skillet, stir them frequently but not too often.
Customize your Breakfast Pizza with additional toppings like diced vegetables or different types of cheese.
Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
