Ultimate Breakfast Pizza
When I was a young'n, I grew up eating frozen breakfast pizzas on the weekend. So this recipe comes with a bit of nostalgia for me; just much better than Red Baron’s. The sauce is homemade sausage gravy, topped with scrambled eggs, mozzarella, and sharp cheddar. If you want to go a different route, omit the sausage. Make a roux with the butter and flour, pour in the milk and whisk, and add in a couple of cheddar; making a cheese sauce. Top with bacon or ham, along with the scrambled eggs and cheeses.
