Looking for a hearty and satisfying breakfast to start your day? Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza combines two comfort food classics in one dish.
With a flaky biscuit crust, rich sausage gravy, and melty cheese, this dish is perfect for weekend brunch or feeding a hungry crowd. It’s easy to prepare and guaranteed to become a family favorite!
Ingredients
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.
Step 2: Open the biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin and press them together to form a single crust on the pan. Make sure there are no gaps.
Step 3: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden but is not fully cooked. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 4: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the grease in the skillet.
Step 5: In the same skillet, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually add the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
Step 6: Assemble the Pizza: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the partially baked biscuit crust. Sprinkle the cooked sausage on top, followed by the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Step 7: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is fully cooked. Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and slice into squares or wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
