Easy Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Introduction

This Easy Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Pizza combines the comforting flavors of classic biscuits and gravy with the fun format of a pizza. It’s perfect for a hearty morning meal or a weekend brunch that everyone will love.

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 the 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 from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
3. Step 3: Add the flour to the sausage drippings and stir constantly for about 2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper and salt. Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy, then remove from heat.
4. Step 4: In a separate skillet, cook the eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently until just set to scramble them.
5. Step 5: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked biscuit crust. Layer the scrambled eggs on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Step 6: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Step 7: Garnish with fresh chives if desired. Slice and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, use spicy breakfast sausage or add a pinch of cayenne to the gravy.
• You can swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different taste.
• If you prefer a lower-fat version, use reduced-fat milk and turkey sausage.
• Adding diced bell peppers or onions to the scrambled eggs gives a nice vegetable boost.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices gently in the microwave or in a low oven until warmed through to preserve texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated dough?

Yes, homemade biscuit dough works well. Just roll it out to fit your pan and follow the same baking steps.

How do I make the gravy thicker if it’s too runny?

If the gravy is too thin, continue cooking it gently while stirring until it thickens further. You can also mix a small amount of flour with cold milk to create a slurry and whisk it in to help thicken.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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 & Toppings

• 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 the refrigerated biscuit dough and arrange it onto a greased 12-inch pizza pan, pressing the edges together to form a uniform crust. Bake for 10 minutes until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
2. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground breakfast sausage until fully browned, breaking it 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: Add the all-purpose flour to the sausage drippings in the skillet and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens and becomes smooth. Season the gravy with black pepper and salt to taste. Return the cooked sausage crumbles to the gravy and mix well, then remove the skillet from heat.
4. Scramble the Eggs: In a separate skillet, cook the eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently until they are lightly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat.
5. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the warm sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked biscuit crust. Layer the scrambled eggs over the gravy and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
6. Bake: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Optionally garnish with freshly chopped chives. Slice the breakfast pizza into wedges and serve warm for a satisfying meal.

Notes

• For a spicier kick, use spicy breakfast sausage instead of mild.
• Fresh chives add a nice color and subtle onion flavor but are optional.
• Make sure not to overcook the scrambled eggs as they will cook a bit more in the oven.
• Leftover breakfast pizza can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
