Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Refrigerated biscuit dough or homemade biscuit dough

• Breakfast sausage

• All-purpose flour

• Milk

• Salt and pepper

• Eggs

• Butter

• Shredded cheddar cheese

• Optional toppings: chopped green onions, crumbled bacon, hot sauce

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a large baking sheet or pizza pan.

2. I press the biscuit dough evenly across the pan, pinching edges together to form the crust, then bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.

3. While the crust bakes, I cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly.

4. I sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to coat, then slowly whisk in the milk, cooking until thickened into a creamy sausage gravy. I season with salt and pepper.

5. In another pan, I scramble the eggs with a little butter until just set.

6. I spread the sausage gravy over the partially baked crust, then top it with scrambled eggs and a generous layer of shredded cheese.

7. I return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. I let it cool slightly, then slice and top with green onions, bacon, or a drizzle of hot sauce if I’m in the mood.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 6–8 slices. It takes around 15 minutes to prep and 20–25 minutes to cook, so I usually have it ready in about 40 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I swap the cheddar for pepper jack for a spicy kick. I’ve also added sautéed peppers, mushrooms, or hash browns for more texture and flavor. When I want to lighten it up, I use turkey sausage and add spinach to the eggs. For a fun twist, I use crescent roll dough as the crust instead of biscuits.

Storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I bake slices in a 350°F oven for about 8 minutes or microwave for 30–45 seconds. The oven keeps the crust crispier, which I prefer.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Yes, I often use homemade biscuit dough when I have time—it gives the crust a rich, buttery flavor.

What’s the best sausage for the gravy?

I like using breakfast sausage, but spicy Italian or sage sausage also works great for added flavor.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I sometimes prep the gravy and eggs the night before, store them separately, then assemble and bake the pizza fresh in the morning.

Can I freeze this breakfast pizza?

Yes, I bake it, let it cool completely, then freeze slices individually. I reheat them in the oven for the best texture.

What cheese works best?

Cheddar is classic, but I’ve used mozzarella, Colby Jack, or a cheese blend depending on what I have—it all melts beautifully.
