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 Topping
- 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). 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
