Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

refrigerated biscuit dough or homemade biscuit dough
breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
all-purpose flour
milk
salt and pepper
eggs
shredded cheddar cheese
butter or oil (for scrambling eggs)
optional toppings: cooked bacon, diced green onions, bell peppers, hot sauce

Directions

I preheat the oven to 375°F. I press the biscuit dough into a greased pizza pan or baking sheet, making sure it covers the bottom evenly and slightly up the sides. I bake it for 8–10 minutes, just until lightly golden.
While the crust bakes, I brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked, I stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Then I gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy sausage gravy. I season it with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate pan, I scramble the eggs with a bit of butter or oil until just set.
Once the crust is par-baked, I spread a generous layer of sausage gravy over it. Then I add the scrambled eggs evenly on top and sprinkle everything with shredded cheese.
I return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
I let it cool slightly, slice it into squares or wedges, and top it with any extras I’m craving.

Servings and timing

This breakfast pizza makes about 6–8 servings and takes around 35–40 minutes from start to finish, including prep and baking time. It’s a perfect make-ahead brunch recipe that I can reheat easily.

Variations

Sometimes I add crispy bacon or cooked diced ham for even more meatiness. I love throwing on sautéed onions, bell peppers, or jalapeños for a veggie boost and extra flavor. For a Tex-Mex spin, I’ve added taco seasoning to the sausage and topped it with salsa or pico de gallo after baking. And for a spicier kick, I always drizzle hot sauce or sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes before serving.

Storage/reheating

I store leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place slices on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave them for 30–45 seconds. It stays delicious and reheats well without getting soggy.

FAQs

Can I make the gravy ahead of time?

Yes, I often make the sausage gravy the night before and store it in the fridge. I just reheat it gently before spreading on the crust.

Do I need to pre-bake the biscuit crust?

Yes, partially baking the crust helps keep it from getting soggy under the gravy and toppings.

Can I use crescent roll dough instead?

Definitely. I’ve made this pizza with crescent dough, and it works great—it’s just a bit flakier and lighter than biscuit dough.

Is this good for meal prep?

Yes, I slice and store it in containers. It reheats easily and makes for a hearty breakfast all week.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Yes, I swap the sausage with plant-based crumbles and use veggie gravy or a thickened mushroom sauce for a meat-free version.

Conclusion

Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza is the ultimate comfort food mashup—savory, cheesy, and perfect for sharing. It’s hearty enough to satisfy any appetite and easy enough for a casual brunch or weekday prep. One bite, and it’s clear: breakfast just got a delicious upgrade.
