Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s your grocery list—short and sweet, like your grandma’s biscuit recipe:
- Biscuit dough (store-bought or homemade if you’re feeling fancy)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey both work great)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
That’s it! Simple, pantry-friendly, and oh-so-satisfying.
Step-by-Step: From Dough to Delicious
1. Preheat and prep
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so nothing sticks—and cleanup stays easy. You’ve got enough going on in life without scrubbing crusty cheese off a pan.
2. Make your sausage gravy
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through. Don’t drain that fat—it’s liquid gold.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the sausage. Let it cook for about a minute, just enough to get rid of that raw flour taste.
Now slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. The gravy will thicken up in just a few minutes. You’re aiming for creamy and spoon-coating, not watery or paste-like.
3. Build your breakfast pizza crust
Roll out your biscuit dough right on the parchment-lined sheet. Press it out gently into a rectangle or circle—no need for perfection. Rustic is beautiful (and way less stressful).
4. Layer it up
Spread that luscious sausage gravy over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. You don’t want gravy running wild in your oven.
Next, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top. This is a judgment-free cheese zone.
5. Add the eggs
Using a spoon, make little wells in the cheese layer—one for each egg. Crack an egg into each well and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
6. Bake to golden glory
Slide your creation into the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the crust is golden brown, the cheese is bubbling, and the eggs are cooked just the way you like them. (Soft yolks? Go 20 minutes. Firmer eggs? Closer to 25.)
Pro Tips for the Best Breakfast Pizza
- Shortcut alert: Use pre-made gravy if you’re in a real pinch (no judgment here). But trust me, making your own is super worth it.
- Customize it: Add chopped veggies, swap in bacon or turkey sausage, or sprinkle on hot sauce. You do you!
- Don’t freak out if the eggs spread a little—this pizza is forgiving like your favorite sweatpants.
A Little Backstory (Because Food Is Personal)
I first made this Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza Recipe one Saturday when we had nothing in the fridge but some leftover biscuit dough, a pack of sausage, and a prayer. I threw everything on a sheet pan and crossed my fingers. By the time the oven dinged, the house smelled like a diner in the best possible way—and my kids, who normally scoff at “fancy breakfast,” were fighting over the last piece. That’s when I knew I had to share this recipe on Time to Cooks.
And speaking of sharing, if you love cozy, Southern-inspired recipes, check out my Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole or our all-time favorite Easy Baked French Toast. Both are crowd-pleasers and weekday lifesavers.
FAQs: Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Can I use canned biscuits?
Absolutely! Just roll them out and press the seams together. It’s not cheating—it’s smart cooking.
What if I don’t eat pork?
No problem. Use turkey sausage or plant-based sausage. The gravy’s just as creamy and flavorful.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, but for best results, cook everything except the eggs, refrigerate, then add eggs and bake the next morning.
How do I store leftovers?
Pop slices into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best texture.
Can I freeze it?
You bet! Freeze individual slices wrapped in foil. To reheat, bake at 350°F for 10–15 minutes.
