For the White Gravy
- 45 g unsalted butter
- 24 g all-purpose flour
- 480 ml whole milk
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Toppings
- 8–10 slices thick-cut bacon
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
- 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper, to season the eggs
🧰 Tools You’ll Need
- Sheet pan (large, rimmed)
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk and spatula
- Nonstick skillet
- Oven preheated to 400°F / 204°C
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Bacon
Lay bacon slices on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 20–25 minutes, until crisp. Transfer to paper towels, cool, and chop.
2️⃣ Mix & Prebake the Crust
Combine the pizza crust mix with oil and water as directed. Spread evenly across a greased sheet pan, prick with a fork to prevent bubbles, and prebake as instructed on the package until lightly golden.
3️⃣ Scramble the Eggs
Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Cook gently in a skillet over medium-low heat until soft and slightly creamy. Set aside.
4️⃣ Make the White Gravy
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth; cook for 1 minute. Gradually add milk, whisking until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5️⃣ Assemble the Pizza
Spread warm gravy over the prebaked crust. Sprinkle half the cheeses, then layer on scrambled eggs and bacon. Finish with remaining cheese.
6️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Bake at 475°F / 246°C for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
🧀 Notes & Pro Tips
- Always prebake the crust so it stays crisp under the gravy.
- Grate your own cheese for the best melt and stretch.
- Let the gravy thicken slowly to keep it silky, not grainy.
- Rest the baked pizza 5 minutes before slicing for clean pieces.
🥄 Ingredient Swaps & Add-Ons
- Protein swap: Try breakfast sausage, turkey bacon, or even ham.
- Veggie lovers: Add sautéed peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or onions.
- Dairy-free version: Use plant-based butter, milk, and cheese.
- Store-bought dough: Great time-saver when you’re in a hurry.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Cut into large squares for a hearty main dish or narrow strips for brunch finger food. Pair with:
- Fresh fruit salad
- Fresh-brewed coffee or iced latte
- A side of orange juice for brightness
Set out bowls of hot sauce, chives, or salsa so everyone can top their slice their own way!
🧊 Storage & Reheating
- Refrigerate: Up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Freeze: Individually wrap slices and freeze up to 1 month.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven to restore crispness; avoid the microwave for the crust’s sake.
