Equipment
- Non-stick Frying Pan
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- whisk
- Silicone Spatula or Spoonula
- mixing bowl
- Chef Knife
- cutting board
- Half Sheet Pan or Perforated Pizza Pan
Ingredients
- 1 12- inch prebaked pizza shell or 2 prepared naan breads or pita breads See notes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 5 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheddar, or mozzarella cheese or a blend, divided
- 3 cups sausage gravy divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF with a rack positioned in the center.
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a liquid measuring cup or mixing bowl until even in colour. Set this aside while you heat butter in a non-stick large skillet over medium low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the melted butter and let it cook for 1 minute, undisturbed. Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circle, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan. Cook just until the eggs are set in a fluffy curd, or for no more than 3 minutes.
- The eggs should be very moist and soft set but not runny. You do not want to cook the eggs to the point of being dry.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese over the eggs, stir gently to combine, once again scraping sides of pan, and remove the pan from the heat. Scoop the eggs onto the pizza shell, naan, or pita bread, leaving 1-inch of crust clear around the outer perimeter.
- Dollop 1 ½ cups of the sausage gravy around and over the eggs and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the places where the egg is exposed. Slide the pizza into the oven (on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, perforated pizza pan, or directly onto the rack) and bake until the cheese is fully melted and the sausage gravy is bubbly.
- If you'd like a little more golden brown kissing your sausage gravy and cheese, you can slide the pizza under the broiler for just a couple of minutes. Watch it carefully, though, to prevent burning.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish immediately with chopped chives or green onions. Let it stand on a baking sheet or cutting board for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the remaining sausage gravy for dipping.
