Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet and optionally brush with olive oil. Spread half of the sausage gravy over the crust.
Cook the eggs
Scramble the eggs with ¼ cup of milk in a skillet over medium-high heat until just set, then remove from heat.
Assemble the pizza
Spoon the scrambled eggs over the gravy on the pizza crust, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
