Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to help prevent sticking. Unroll both cans of crescents into an even layer on a half sheet pan (13 x 18 inches) and lightly pinch together the seams. Then poke the crust with a fork every few inches to help keep it flat as it bakes.
Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Keep the oven on. Remove the crust from the oven and set aside.
In a large, nonstick sauté pan cook the sausage until it is no longer pink and it crumbles easily. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, pepper and cayenne. Add the flour and cook for one minute, stirring often.
Add the milk and sour cream and cook, stirring often until the mixture is bubbly and a gravy has formed. Remove the pan from the heat.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a microwave safe dish (or glass measuring cup).
Then add the eggs to the same dish or cup with the melted butter and whisk until well beaten. Stir in the chives, if using.
Microwave the eggs for 45 seconds on high power. Then use a non-stick spatula to stir them. Repeat this process one or two more times until you have softly scrambled eggs. A little uncooked egg left in the mixture is OK. It will continue to cook when the pizza bakes.
Mix the scrambled eggs into the pan with the gravy. Spread the egg and gravy mixture evenly over the par baked pizza crust.
Top the pizza with the mozzarella cheese.
Bake the pizza at 375 degrees F for 12-14 minutes, or until the crust and cheese are starting to lightly brown.
