Introduction

This Easy Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Pizza is a comforting twist on classic Southern flavors. Combining fluffy biscuit crust, savory sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar, it’s perfect for a hearty morning treat or brunch with friends.

A close-up of a pizza shows a thick crust base with a light golden-brown edge. The first layer is melted white cheese spread evenly over the dough. Scattered on top are small browned ground meat pieces that add a rough texture. Bright yellow halved cherry tomatoes are placed evenly across the pizza, bursting with color and juiciness. Small green herbs are sprinkled on top, adding a touch of freshness. The pizza sits on a wooden board, with a soft blurred background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
1 lb ground breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. On a lightly floured surface, press or roll each biscuit into a 1/4-inch thick circle. Arrange them on a greased 12-inch pizza pan, overlapping slightly, and press edges together to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate and leave the drippings in the skillet.
Step 3: Add the flour to the sausage drippings and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring frequently until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with black pepper and salt. Return the sausage to the gravy and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Step 4: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the eggs gently, stirring, until softly scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked biscuit crust. Top with scrambled eggs, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over everything.
Step 6: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7: Remove from oven and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh chives. Slice and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage gravy.
Swap cheddar cheese with pepper jack or mozzarella for a different twist.
Make it vegetarian by using plant-based sausage and vegetable broth in place of milk.
If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the biscuit base a few minutes longer before adding toppings.

Storage

Store any leftover breakfast pizza covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through to keep the crust crisp. Microwaving is faster but may soften the crust.

How to Serve

A white pizza crust with a slightly thick edge lays flat on a dark wooden board, topped with a smooth, melted white cheese layer spread evenly. On top, there are five bright yellow egg yolks, each sitting whole and shiny in a line across the pizza. Small clusters of cooked brown ground meat are scattered around the yolks, and tiny green herb bits sprinkle lightly over the cheese and yolks.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of canned?

Yes, homemade biscuit dough works well and adds a fresh touch. Just roll it out to the same thickness and bake as directed.

How do I make the sausage gravy thicker or thinner?

To thicken, cook the gravy a bit longer to reduce liquid or add a little more flour for the roux. To thin it out, gradually stir in more milk until the desired consistency is reached.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Crust

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

Sausage Gravy

1 lb ground breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Eggs and Toppings

6 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Biscuit Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. On a lightly floured surface, press or roll each biscuit into a 1/4-inch thick circle. Arrange the flattened biscuits on a greased 12-inch pizza pan, overlapping slightly, and press the edges together to form a cohesive crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
Prepare the Sausage Gravy: Add the all-purpose flour to the sausage drippings in the skillet. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring a smooth consistency. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, approximately 5-7 minutes. Season with black pepper and salt. Return the cooked sausage to the gravy and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
Scramble the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the eggs, stirring gently, until they are softly scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Pizza: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked biscuit crust. Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly over the gravy layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake: Place the assembled pizza back into the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh chives. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

For a spicier version, consider adding red pepper flakes to the sausage gravy.
Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can be added to the gravy for extra flavor.
If you prefer, use turkey sausage for a leaner option.
Make sure not to overcook the scrambled eggs as they will continue to cook slightly on the pizza during baking.
This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings by using a larger pan or multiple pans.
