What You’ll Need

Gather these items for an unforgettable breakfast pizza:

13.8 ounce tube refrigerated pizza crust
2 Tablespoons olive oil
8 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
⅓ cup milk
2 Tablespoons salted butter
15 ounce can Libbys Country Sausage Gravy
2 cups shredded Colby jack cheese
½ cup real bacon pieces

Feel free to substitute the Colby jack cheese with another favorite cheese or swap out the sausage gravy for a homemade version if you’re looking for something extra special.

Directions to Follow

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease a large baking sheet (10"x 15") with nonstick cooking spray.
Roll out the 13.8-ounce tube of refrigerated pizza crust onto the baking sheet, stretching it to cover the edges. Brush 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly on top and poke it well with a fork to prevent puffing.
Bake the crust for about 7 minutes in the middle of the oven until it starts to turn light brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare your scrambled eggs. In a medium bowl, combine 8 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, and ⅓ cup of milk. Whisk eggs thoroughly for at least 2 minutes.
Heat a pan over low to medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble, stirring slowly until fluffy.
Remove the baked crust from the oven and spread the 15-ounce can of Libbys Country Sausage Gravy evenly over it.
Layer the scrambled eggs on top of the gravy, followed by 2 cups of shredded Colby jack cheese, and finally sprinkle with ½ cup of real bacon pieces.
Return the baking pan to the oven and bake for another 6-7 minutes until everything is warmed through and the cheese is melted.
Slice into 12 portions and serve warm.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve this breakfast pizza hot from the oven, and consider complementing it with fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal. A side of salsa or hot sauce adds a delightful kick, while a steaming cup of coffee rounds out the breakfast experience perfectly. You may even want to offer a variety of toppings so everyone can customize their slice!

How to Store

If you find yourself with leftovers—a rare occurrence, I assure you—allow the breakfast pizza to cool completely before storing. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Enjoy it within 3-4 days for optimal taste. To reheat, pop slices in the microwave or toaster oven until warmed through.

Tips to Make It Perfect

Egg Cooking Tip: Cook scrambled eggs slowly; high heat can make them rubbery. Keep stirring gently for that perfect soft texture.
Crispiness Matters: Make sure to poke holes in the crust before baking; this helps it stay flat and crispy.
Layering Technique: Ensure all ingredients are evenly spread for consistent flavors in every bite.

Recipe Variations

Feel free to get creative! Swap out the Colby jack cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick, or use different breakfast meats like ham or turkey sausage. You could even make it veggie-packed by adding sautéed bell peppers or spinach. For a gluten-free version, try using a gluten-free pizza crust!
