1½ cups shredded Gouda cheese

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)

½ tsp kosher salt

Cooking Directions:

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it inside to heat.

Season Crust: Brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and thyme evenly.

Add Toppings:

Scatter the cooked, crumbled sausage.

Arrange apple slices in a single layer.

Top with shredded Gouda.

Optional Eggs: Make 2 small wells and crack an egg into each pizza for a runny yolk finish.

Bake: Slide onto the hot stone or place the baking sheet in oven. Bake for 10–12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

Rest & Garnish: Remove, let rest 2 minutes, then sprinkle extra thyme.

Slice & Serve: Cut into wedges and enjoy immediately!
