• Use a cast-iron skillet to cook the sausage for extra flavor and a crispy texture.
• Beat the eggs before cracking them onto the pizza for a smoother and more uniform egg layer.
• For a richer flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan or mozzarella cheese on top of the cheddar before baking.
• To ensure the eggs cook evenly, make small wells in the sausage gravy to hold the eggs before cracking them on top.
• Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper to the sausage gravy for a subtle flavor boost.
• For a vegetarian version, use plant-based sausage crumbles and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
• To prevent the eggs from overcooking, cover the pizza with foil during the first half of baking and remove it for the remaining time.
