Biscuits Sausage Gravy Pizza

This biscuits and sausage gravy breakfast pizza is a soulful way to start your day with a luscious blend of flavors and textures. The biscuit dough creates a tender yet sturdy crust that cradles rich sausage gravy, melted cheese, and eggs cooked to just the right softness.

I first made this recipe when craving something unique for brunch and it quickly became a new household favorite. Each bite feels like a cozy morning hug that’s both satisfying and exciting.

Ingredients You Need

• One tube of refrigerated biscuit dough: the foundation for a tender crust—choose a brand with flaky layers for best results
• One pound breakfast sausage: crumbled, for a juicy and flavorful protein base—look for a good-quality pork or turkey sausage
• Half a cup diced onion: for sweetness and depth—pick onions that are firm with no soft spots
• Two cloves of minced garlic: for aromatic warmth—fresh garlic elevates the gravy
• A cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese: this provides a bold tang and melty texture, choose freshly shredded if possible
• Half a cup shredded mozzarella cheese: to add stretch and creaminess
• Half a cup of milk: to enrich the gravy’s texture—whole milk creates the creamiest result
• A quarter cup all-purpose flour: to thicken the gravy—use fresh flour for smooth consistency
• One cup prepared sausage gravy: either homemade or store-bought—homemade offers a fresher taste, but store versions save time
• Two large eggs: that top the pizza, contributing rich creaminess—farm fresh eggs brighten the dish
• Salt and pepper to taste: essential to balance flavors
• Fresh parsley for garnish: adding a burst of color and subtle herbal notes

Detailed Cooking Directions

Build The Crust:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 12-inch pizza pan lightly. Roll out the biscuit dough on a floured surface so it fits your pan snugly. Press it into the pan, pushing some dough slightly up the edges to create a shallow rim to hold the toppings.

Cook The Sausage:

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the crumbled sausage thoroughly until no pink remains, roughly five to seven minutes. Remove the meat and set it aside, leaving the flavorful sausage drippings in the pan.

Make The Gravy:

Add diced onions and minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook gently for two to three minutes until onions soften and smell fragrant. Stir in the flour evenly over the onion mixture and cook for an additional minute to remove raw flour taste. Whisk in the milk gradually and cook until the gravy thickens, about two to three minutes. Mix the cooked sausage back into the gravy, seasoning with salt and pepper to balance the flavors.

Assemble The Pizza:

Spread the sausage gravy generously over the biscuit crust to coat it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses atop the gravy in a uniform layer. Carefully crack the eggs directly onto the pizza, spacing them well to give enough room as they bake.

Bake And Finish:

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for twenty to twenty-five minutes. Watch for a golden brown biscuit base, bubbly melted cheese, and eggs that are set on the outside with slightly runny yolks within. Remove and let it rest a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.

I love how this recipe balances ease and decadence. One memorable morning involved cooking this for a sleepy Sunday brunch crowd and watching everyone's eyes light up as they dug into this hearty pizza. The aroma alone fills your kitchen with comforting promise.

Smart Storage Tips

Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the biscuit crust from drying out. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or regular oven to restore crispness. If you have extra sausage gravy, save it separately in a sealed jar for up to three days—it makes a fantastic topping for biscuits or mashed potatoes. For freezing, wrap the whole pizza tightly in plastic wrap followed by foil. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating in the oven for best texture.

Ingredient Variations

Swap the breakfast sausage for spicy Italian sausage or a vegetarian sausage alternative to customize flavor profiles. For a richer cheese blend, add some pepper jack or gouda alongside cheddar and mozzarella. Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or even caramelized onions for extra veggies and natural sweetness.

Perfect Pairing Ideas

Serve this breakfast pizza alongside a crisp green salad dressed in lemon vinaigrette for balance and freshness. A chilled glass of fresh orange juice or cold brew coffee complements the savory and creamy elements wonderfully. Top with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flair and tang.

This breakfast pizza unveils a playful twist on two classic comfort foods, making every bite a satisfying adventure. It’s an all-in-one dish that brings a smile and fills your kitchen with irresistible scents and flavors.
