Ingredients
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet with nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking and ensure the pizza cooks evenly.
Prepare the Biscuit Crust
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin, and press them into the prepared pizza pan, overlapping slightly to form a single layer that covers the entire surface. Pinch the edges together to create a solid crust.
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet to make the gravy.
Make the Sausage Gravy
In the same skillet, add the flour to the sausage drippings, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Once thickened, remove the gravy from the heat and stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy.
Assemble the Breakfast Pizza
Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust, making sure to cover the entire surface. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the gravy. Create four small wells in the cheese topping, and crack an egg into each well.
Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the eggs are cooked to your liking, and the biscuit crust is golden brown. If you prefer your eggs more well-done, you can bake the pizza for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. This Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza is perfect for a weekend brunch or any morning when you want something extra special.
Tips
- Egg Doneness: If you prefer fully cooked eggs, cover the pizza with foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to help the eggs cook through without over-browning the crust.
- Cheese Options: Feel free to mix and match cheeses based on your preference. Monterey Jack, Swiss, or even pepper jack can add different flavors to the dish.
- Make Ahead: The sausage gravy can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently before spreading it over the biscuit crust.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair this breakfast pizza with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
This Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza is a comforting and indulgent way to start your day. Combining the best parts of a classic Southern breakfast into a fun and delicious pizza, it’s sure to become a new favorite in your breakfast rotation. Enjoy!
