Ingredients
- The Crust:
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 2/3 cup Milk
- Grease: Shortening or meat drippings (for the skillet)
- The Toppings:
- Meat: Browned breakfast sausage and/or bacon
- Gravy: 1 recipe of One Cup Gravy (Master Cookbook Recipe # 172)
- Eggs: 5 large eggs
- Cheese: 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
- Optional: Extra seasonings or vegetables of your choice
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the flour, salt, 2 eggs, and milk.
- Initial Bake: Pour the mixture into a well-greased 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Distribute your browned sausage and bacon over the "runny" crust. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes. The crust should pull away from the sides.
- Add Gravy: Remove the skillet from the oven and spread your prepared One Cup Gravy over the crust.
- Add Eggs: Carefully crack 5 eggs on top of the gravy layer. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Second Bake: Return the skillet to the oven at 450°F and bake for 10 minutes.
- Finish: Open the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top. Bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the eggs are cooked to your preference.
Notes
Pro Tips -
- Skillet Choice: Using a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet is essential for getting that perfectly crisp bottom crust that won't stick.
- Customize It: Feel free to add diced onions or green peppers on top of the gravy before adding the eggs for extra flavor and crunch.
- The Gravy Layer: Make sure your gravy is thick enough to support the eggs so they stay on top of the pizza rather than soaking into the crust.
