Preparation Phase & Tools to Use

Before diving into assembling this breakfast pizza, make sure you’ve got the right tools to keep the process smooth and mess-free.

• Baking Sheet or Pizza Pan: A sturdy baking sheet helps evenly cook the biscuit dough, creating a crisp bottom without overbrowning the top.
• Rolling Pin: Useful for flattening the biscuit dough evenly to form a uniform base.
• Skillet: Ideal for browning sausage and preparing the gravy, especially if it’s cast iron for even heat distribution.
• Whisk: Essential for getting a lump-free, creamy sausage gravy.
• Spatula or Spoon: Handy for spreading the gravy evenly and layering ingredients.
• Oven Mitts: Safety first when handling a hot oven and skillet.

Having these essentials prepped not only streamlines your cooking but ensures your crust bakes evenly and your gravy turns out silky smooth.

Ingredients for the Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

• Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: Acts as the crust base, providing a buttery, flaky texture that’s more indulgent than a typical pizza dough.
• Breakfast Sausage: The heart of the gravy. Opt for a seasoned variety for extra flavor.
• All-Purpose Flour: Thickens the gravy without overpowering the taste.
• Milk: Creates that rich, creamy gravy consistency.
• Salt & Black Pepper: Essential seasonings to bring out the flavor of the sausage gravy.
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Melts beautifully over the top, giving a gooey, savory finish.
• Eggs (optional): Crack them right on top for added protein and a runny yolk moment if you like.
• Butter (optional): For brushing the biscuit crust edges for an extra golden finish.

How To Make the Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

Step 1: Preheat and Prep the Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the biscuit dough and press it into a greased baking sheet or pizza pan. Use your fingers or a rolling pin to flatten and stretch the dough to cover the surface. Pinch any seams and build a slight edge for the crust.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage Gravy

In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer until thickened, then season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza

Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the prepared biscuit crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top. If using, crack eggs gently over the pizza, spacing them out evenly.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Bake the assembled pizza for 20–23 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you added eggs, bake until whites are set and yolks are slightly runny or to your preference.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Let it cool slightly before slicing into squares or wedges. Serve warm and enjoy a comforting, cheesy start to your day.

How to Serve and Store Your Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

This breakfast pizza is best served hot, fresh from the oven. The cheese should still be melty, and the biscuit crust crisp and golden. Pair it with a side of fresh fruit or a green salad to balance out the richness, especially if you’re serving it for brunch.

If you’re prepping ahead or dealing with leftovers, store slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop a slice in the oven or toaster oven at 350°F until warmed through. The microwave works too, but it may soften the crust slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated?

Absolutely. If you have a favorite homemade biscuit recipe, it will work beautifully and likely add even more flavor and fluffiness.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Yes! Use a plant-based sausage alternative and a roux-based veggie gravy. The flavor will differ slightly but still be hearty.

How do I keep the biscuit crust from getting soggy?

Make sure your sausage gravy isn’t too runny and avoid overloading the crust. Pre-baking the crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings also helps.

What cheeses work well besides cheddar?

Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack if you want a spicy kick. You can also mix cheese types for extra depth.

Can I freeze this breakfast pizza?

You can, but it’s best without eggs on top if you plan to freeze. Wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to one month. Reheat in the oven for best texture.

Can I add vegetables?

Sure! Sautéed mushrooms, peppers, or onions work great. Just be sure they’re cooked beforehand so they don’t release too much moisture onto the crust.
