Easy Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Introduction

Enjoy a comforting twist on a classic breakfast with this Easy Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Pizza. It combines flaky biscuit crust, savory sausage gravy, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar for a delicious morning treat.

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

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Flatten and arrange the biscuit dough onto a greased 12-inch pizza pan, pressing the edges together to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside.
2. Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
3. Step 3: Add the flour to the sausage drippings in the skillet and stir for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue stirring until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper and salt.
4. Step 4: Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy, then remove the skillet from heat.
5. Step 5: In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently until just set but still moist.
6. Step 6: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked biscuit crust. Layer the scrambled eggs on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
7. Step 7: Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Step 8: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired. Slice and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use spicy breakfast sausage for a little kick or turkey sausage for a leaner option.
• Try adding sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to the scrambled eggs for extra flavor and texture.
• For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and cheese with your preferred non-dairy alternatives.
• Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can be used instead of chives for garnish.

Storage

Store any leftover breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through to keep the crust crisp and the cheese melted.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the sausage gravy and scramble the eggs in advance, then assemble and bake the pizza when ready to serve. This saves time on busy mornings.

Refrigerated biscuit dough works well because it is easy to flatten and forms a light, flaky crust. You can also use homemade biscuit dough if you prefer.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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 Topping

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

Instructions

1. Prepare the Biscuit Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Flatten and arrange the refrigerated biscuit dough onto a greased 12-inch pizza pan, pressing the edges together to form a unified crust. Bake for 10 minutes until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks. Once browned, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
3. Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour into the sausage drippings in the skillet and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens smoothly. Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy, then remove from heat.
4. Scramble the Eggs: In a separate skillet over medium heat, cook the eggs while stirring frequently until they are just set and fluffy. Remove from heat.
5. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked biscuit crust. Layer the scrambled eggs on top of the gravy, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Bake: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Once baked, optionally garnish with chopped fresh chives. Slice the breakfast pizza and serve warm to enjoy the hearty flavors.

Notes

• For a spicier kick, use spicy breakfast sausage instead of mild.
• Fresh chives add color and a mild onion flavor, but can be omitted if preferred.
• Make sure to press the biscuit dough edges well to avoid gaps in the crust.
• This dish can be prepared ahead by pre-baking the crust and cooking the sausage and gravy, then assembling and baking just before serving.
• Use whole milk for a creamier gravy, but 2% milk can be substituted for a lighter option.
