How This Recipe Comes Together

Making this breakfast pizza is a breeze! You start by browning the breakfast sausage, then create a rich gravy that forms the base of your pizza. While the gravy thickens, you’ll preheat your oven and prepare your pizza crust. Next, you’ll whip together some eggs for scrambling, and before you know it, you’ve layered a fantastic breakfast masterpiece on your crust. Finally, a sprinkle of Cheddar cheese and a quick bake rounds out this delicious meal.

What You’ll Need

Gather these items for a fantastic Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza:

• 1 package (16 oz) breakfast sausage
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk, divided
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
• 1 pre-baked pizza crust (12-inch)
• Cooking spray
• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk (for eggs)
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (or more, as desired)
• Crispy fried onions for topping

Feel free to substitute turkey sausage for the breakfast sausage if you’re looking for a lighter option. You can also swap the Cheddar cheese for any of your favorites!

Directions to Follow

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir well to coat evenly.
3. Gradually pour in the 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens (about 10 minutes). Add black pepper to taste.
4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet. Brush it with olive oil if desired.
6. Spread half of the prepared sausage gravy over the pizza crust.
7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup milk.
8. Heat a skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble until just set (about 5 minutes).
9. Spread the scrambled eggs over the gravy on the pizza.
10. Top everything with shredded Cheddar cheese.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
12. Finally, sprinkle crispy fried onions on top. Slice, serve warm, and enjoy!

Best Ways to Enjoy It

The beauty of this breakfast pizza is how versatile it is! Serve it alongside fresh fruit like strawberries or a simple green salad for a refreshing contrast. If you’d like to elevate the meal, pair it with a spicy salsa or even a drizzle of hot sauce for those who enjoy a bite. For drinks, a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing iced tea can perfectly complement your pizza feast!

How to Store

If you happen to have leftovers (which you probably won’t!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will be good for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop your slices back into the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until heated through. This will help maintain the crispiness of the crust!

Tips to Make It Perfect

• Make sure to drain excess grease from the sausage before adding the flour to ensure your gravy isn’t too greasy.
• If you like a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the gravy for extra flavor.
• Let the finished pizza cool slightly before slicing; this will help keep the layers intact.

Recipe Variations

Feeling adventurous? Here are some fun ways to switch things up:

• Swap in turkey or plant-based sausage for a healthier or vegetarian option.
• Try adding sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach into the scrambled eggs for extra nutrients.
• Experiment with different cheeses—Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack could add a unique twist!
