Key Ingredients for Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this delicious dish to life:

• 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 pound halal sausage (bulk or patties, crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk (whole or low-fat)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Halal Sausage: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the halal sausage until browned, breaking it into crumbles. This step should take about 5-7 minutes.
2. Make the Gravy: Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle flour over it and stir for about a minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Allow the gravy to simmer for 3-5 minutes, until thickened.
3. Prepare the Pizza Crust: Preheat your oven according to the pizza crust package instructions. Place the prepared crust on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
4. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the crust. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top of the gravy.
5. Bake: Pop the pizza in the oven for the time indicated on the crust package — approximately 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve: Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, slice it up, and enjoy your savory breakfast creation!

Top Tips for Perfecting Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

1. Substitutions: Trying to sneak in some greens? Feel free to add in diced bell peppers or spinach for an extra health boost without overpowering the dish.
2. Timing: Keep a close eye on the gravy when simmering — stirring constantly will ensure a smooth texture and prevent sticking.
3. Avoid Common Mistakes: Don’t hesitate to adjust the seasonings to your taste. If you prefer a cheesier experience, adding more cheese is always a hit!

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers, which is usually a rarity with this dish, simply slice the pizza and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best consumed within 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to restore that wonderful texture. If you want to freeze it, wrap the slices tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and they can stay fresh for up to three months!

In conclusion, Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza is not just a meal; it’s an experience. Perfect for family gatherings and sure to become a tradition at your breakfast table. So why not gather your loved ones, roll up your sleeves, and make this delightful dish today? Enjoy every mouthful!
