Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll want to gather before we get cooking:

  • 1 lb Breakfast Sausage (spicy or mild)
  • ÂĽ cup All-Purpose Flour (for thickening that dreamy gravy)
  • 2 cups Milk (whole milk recommended for max creaminess)
  • 6 Eggs (for soft scrambled perfection)
  • 1 Pre-Baked Pizza Crust (store-bought or homemade—no judgment here!)
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (for that golden, melty finish)

Step-by-Step: How to Make Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

1. Cook the Sausage

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  • Crumble in the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Drain any extra grease (unless you want super indulgent gravy—we’re not here to judge).

2. Make the Gravy

  • Sprinkle in ÂĽ cup flour and stir for 1-2 minutes to cook out that raw flour taste.
  • Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Simmer on low heat until the gravy thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika or red pepper flakes if you’re feeling fancy.

3. Preheat the Oven

  • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

4. Prepare the Pizza Crust

  • Place the pre-baked crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  • This keeps it crisp and ready to carry all those glorious toppings.

5. Assemble the Pizza

  • Spread half the sausage gravy over the crust.
  • In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs until just set (soft and fluffy is the goal here!).
  • Layer the scrambled eggs over the gravy.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly on top.

6. Bake to Perfection

  • Pop the pizza into the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns beautifully golden.
  • Keep an eye on it so the crust doesn’t go from “golden brown” to “oops, burnt.”

7. Serve and Enjoy

  • Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if you’re feeling extra.
  • Slice it up and dig in!

Pro Tips & Tricks

  • Make it ahead: Cook the sausage gravy the night before. In the morning, you’re just assembling and baking—easy peasy.
  • Veggie boost: Add sautĂ©ed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers on top for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Spice it up: A dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes gives this pizza a fun kick.
  • Don’t panic over lumps: If your gravy looks a little lumpy at first, just keep stirring—it’s part of the magic!
