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)
- 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.
