Title: Low Carb Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza: A Healthier Alternative to Crescent Roll Dough

Ingredients:
– 2 packages crescent rolls
– 1 package Jimmy Dean cooked sausage crumbles
– 1 envelope country gravy mix
– 6 eggs
– 2 tablespoons milk
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon pepper
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
– 4 oz shredded pepper Jack cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Separate crescent dough into 16 triangles and place them on a greased, round pizza pan with points toward the center. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form a crust; seal seams. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the gravy according to package directions in a medium saucepan. Stir sausage crumbles into the thickened gravy; set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add the egg mixture; cook and stir until almost set.
4. Spread the sausage gravy mixture over the crust. Top with the cooked eggs and sprinkle with both cheddar and pepper Jack cheeses. Bake for 5-10 minutes longer or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted. Cut into wedges and serve.

Ingredients: For the Crust:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt

For the Sausage Gravy:

  • 8 ounces ground turkey sausage (or turkey breakfast sausage)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Toppings:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a thin crust, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  4. While the crust is baking, prepare the sausage gravy. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the ground turkey sausage. Cook until browned and crumbled.
  5. Sprinkle almond flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Gradually pour in almond milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a gravy consistency. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Once the crust is baked, spread the sausage gravy evenly over the surface, leaving a border around the edges.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the gravy layer, then crack the eggs directly onto the pizza, spacing them evenly apart.
  8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
