Packed with protein to keep you full all morning
My favorite part is the combination of sausage gravy and eggsâthose layers make every bite rich and comforting. This pizza reminds me of our annual New Year’s morning brunch where everyone pitches in and the kitchen smells amazing.
Storage Tips
Leftovers keep best when wrapped tightly and stored in the fridge for up to three days. To freeze, cool completely, slice, and layer with parchment in a freezer bag. When ready to eat, just reheat slices in the oven or air fryer and they taste freshly madeâperfect for busy mornings or late-night snacks.
Ingredient Substitutions
You can swap out the sausage for turkey sausage or vegetarian crumbles for a lighter option. Use other cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for more flavor. If you are out of half and half, regular milk with a tablespoon of cream works in a pinch.
