Grilled Breakfast Pizza with Sausage Gravy
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for the pizzas and grill grates
- 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed
- 8 ounces sharp white Cheddar, shredded (about 3 heaping cups)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- Hot sauce, for serving
- Prepare an outdoor grill for medium heat.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the sausage, and cook, stirring and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, and use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate.
- Reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet (drain or add oil as needed), return it to medium-high heat.
- Whisk in the flour, and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture becomes loose and turns a light tan color, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Simmer, whisking frequently, until the sauce has thickened to the consistency of thin gravy, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, and stir.
- Remove from the heat, cover and set aside.
- Divide the pizza dough into 4 balls.
- Dust a clean flat work surface with flour, and roll each ball into an 8-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough circles to the prepared baking sheet, and brush both sides with oil.
- Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Grill the crusts until they start to puff and distinct grill marks appear on the underside, about 1 minute.
- Flip.
- Evenly divide the Cheddar among the crusts, leaving a small well in the center of each.
- Immediately crack 1 egg into each well.
- Grill, covered, until the whites have completely set and the Cheddar has melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, reheat the sausage gravy if needed.
- Remove the pizzas from the grill, and drizzle each with a couple spoonfuls of warm gravy.
- Garnish with the scallions.
- Serve immediately with hot sauce and any remaining gravy served on the side.
