Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza is the ultimate Southern-inspired morning mashup.

It’s hearty, indulgent, and always a hit with anyone I serve it to.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it takes two breakfast favorites and turns them into something even better. The biscuit crust is soft and buttery, the sausage gravy is rich and peppery, and the melty cheese on top ties it all together. It’s perfect for feeding a crowd, great for weekend brunches or holiday mornings, and surprisingly easy to throw together with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count or similar)

• 1/2 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)

• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 cups whole milk

• 1/2 tsp black pepper (more to taste)

• Salt to taste

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• Optional: 4 scrambled eggs (for topping)

• Optional toppings: chopped green onions, crumbled bacon, hot sauce

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

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza pan.

2. Separate the biscuit dough and press the pieces together on the baking sheet to form a crust, flattening and stretching until you have a round or rectangular pizza base. Pinch edges to form a rim.

3. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

4. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Don’t drain the grease unless there’s excess.

5. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute.

6. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens (about 3–5 minutes). Season with pepper and salt to taste.

7. Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked biscuit crust.

8. If using scrambled eggs, scatter them over the gravy.

9. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.

10. Return to the oven and bake for 10–12 more minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

11. Top with green onions, bacon, or hot sauce if desired, and serve warm.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 6–8 slices, depending on how large I cut them. It takes about 15 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to bake, so it’s ready in under 40 minutes total—perfect for a leisurely weekend breakfast or brunch.

Variations

• Add Veggies: I sometimes add sautéed bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms before baking for extra flavor.

• Spicy Kick: I stir in red pepper flakes or use spicy sausage for some heat.

• Egg-Free Version: I skip the scrambled eggs and let the gravy and cheese shine on their own.

• Gravy Shortcuts: If I’m in a rush, I use store-bought sausage gravy or mix gravy packets with cooked sausage.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes or microwave individual slices for about 30–60 seconds. The biscuit crust is best when reheated in the oven to stay crisp on the edges.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Yes, I can use homemade biscuit dough if I prefer. I just roll or press it into a crust shape before pre-baking.

What kind of sausage works best?

I usually use classic pork breakfast sausage, but turkey sausage or spicy Italian sausage also work great.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I can prep the biscuit crust and sausage gravy ahead of time and assemble just before baking. Or I bake it fully and reheat in the morning.

Can I freeze it?

Yes, I freeze leftover slices in a zip-top bag. To reheat, I bake them from frozen at 350°F until heated through.

Can I make it without a crust?

For a crustless version, I layer the sausage gravy, eggs, and cheese in a baking dish and bake it like a breakfast casserole.
