Description

 

Learn how to make a unique and delicious Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza! This recipe combines flaky biscuits, savory sausage gravy, fluffy eggs, and cheese for the ultimate breakfast experience.


Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
  • 1 pre-baked pizza crust (12-inch)
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk (for the eggs)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy: A Creamy and Flavorful Topping

  1. Cook Sausage: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula as it cooks, until it’s fully browned and no longer pink. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Drain Grease: Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  3. Make Roux: Sprinkle ¼ cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage in the skillet. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. This will thicken the gravy.
  4. Add Milk: Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  5. Simmer and Thicken: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes.
  6. Season: Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.

2. Set Up the Pizza Base: Preparing the Crust

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Crust: Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet.
  3. Optional: Brush with Oil: If desired, lightly brush the surface of the pizza crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. This will help create a crispier crust.

3. Cook the Eggs: Fluffy and Light

  1. Heat Skillet: Spray a separate large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Whisk Eggs and Milk: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and ¼ cup of milk until well combined.
  3. Scramble Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist, about 5 minutes.
    • Tip: Don’t overcook the eggs, as they will continue to cook slightly in the oven.

4. Assemble the Pizza: Building Layers of Flavor

  1. Spread Gravy: Spread about half of the prepared sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked pizza crust.
    • Tip: Leave a small border around the edge of the crust for a cleaner presentation.
  2. Add Eggs: Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over the gravy layer.
  3. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the scrambled eggs.

5. Bake the Pizza: Achieving a Golden, Bubbly Finish

  1. Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven.
  2. Baking Time: Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve: Enjoying Your Breakfast Pizza Creation

 

  1. Cool Slightly: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes before slicing.
  2. Slice and Serve: Slice the Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza into wedges and serve warm.
  3. Optional: Top with extra gravy, or other toppings of your choice.
