Recipe Story:
We’ve all heard the saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But with our Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza, it can also be the tastiest! We’ve taken all the delicious elements of a classic sausage gravy breakfast – the savory sausage, the rich gravy, the fluffy biscuits – and turned it into a pizza that’s perfect for weekend brunch or a special occasion breakfast.
Creating this breakfast pizza is a satisfying kitchen adventure. We start with a layer of canned biscuit dough as our pizza crust, creating a flaky, tender base. While that pre-bakes, we whip up a flavorful sausage gravy, just like grandma used to make. This becomes our “pizza sauce,” which we spread over the partially baked biscuit crust.
Next, a generous sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese adds a layer of melty goodness. Finally, we crack a few eggs on top, giving our breakfast pizza its finishing touch. Back into the oven it goes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Ingredients:
1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
1 lb breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4-6 large eggs
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Press the biscuit dough into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, making sure to cover the bottom completely. Bake the dough for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the biscuit dough is baking, cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage, stirring to combine. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a simmer. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the sausage gravy over the partially baked biscuit crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the gravy. Carefully crack the eggs on top of the cheese.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before cutting into servings.
With its bold flavors and fun presentation, our Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza is sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike. Whether you’re serving it up for a lazy weekend brunch or a festive holiday breakfast, this pizza is a delightful way to start the day. Happy cooking!
