Description

Biscuits & Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza – A game-changing mashup of flaky biscuit crust, creamy peppered sausage gravy, melty cheddar, and crispy sausage crumbles. Brunch just got a serious upgrade.

Ingredients

Scale

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
1/2 pound breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the biscuit dough to fit your pizza pan or baking sheet.
Press the dough evenly to form a crust.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked.
Drain excess grease and transfer sausage to a bowl.

Step 3: Make the Gravy

In the same skillet, add the flour to the sausage drippings and stir for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth gravy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Assemble the Pizza

Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust.
Top with the cooked sausage, followed by shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh chopped chives, if using.

Notes

Be sure to cook the sausage fully before assembling.
If your gravy thickens too much, thin it with a splash of milk.
Customize with your favorite breakfast toppings like peppers, mushrooms, or bacon.
