Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza
(Serves 4–6)
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
-
1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count, like Pillsbury Grands)
For the Sausage Gravy:
-
½ lb breakfast sausage (pork or beef)
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)
-
½ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked is best)
-
¼ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp garlic powder
-
Pinch of cayenne (optional)
For the Toppings:
-
4 large eggs, scrambled
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prep the Crust:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet.
-
Flatten each biscuit into a 3-inch round. Press biscuits together on the pan to form a crust, sealing edges.
-
Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
2. Make the Sausage Gravy:
-
In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned. Do not drain.
-
Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
-
Gradually whisk in milk, pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened (gravy should coat the back of a spoon).
3. Assemble & Bake:
-
Spread warm gravy evenly over the biscuit crust.
-
Top with scrambled eggs and shredded cheese.
-
Return to oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese melts.
4. Garnish & Serve:
-
Sprinkle with chives and extra black pepper.
-
Slice into wedges and serve hot!
Tips & Variations:
-
Extra Crispy Crust: Brush biscuit dough with melted butter before baking.
-
Loaded Version: Add diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or crispy bacon.
-
Spicy Twist: Use hot sausage or add a dash of hot sauce to the gravy.
-
Shortcut: Use store-bought sausage gravy (like Heinz) for a quicker version.
This breakfast pizza is the ultimate comfort food mashup—flaky, creamy, and packed with protein. Pair it with a fresh fruit salad or hash browns!
