Biscuits and sausage gravy breakfast pizza is the ultimate comfort food mashup that brings the hearty flavors of a southern classic straight to your breakfast table with a fun twist. It is a crowd-pleaser that always disappears fast when I make it for family brunch or cozy weekends.

Ingredients

• Pre-made pizza crust: gives a sturdy base and saves time Look for a crust with a good chewy texture
• Refrigerated flaky biscuits: bring classic biscuit flavor and fluffy texture Choose a brand known for buttery layers
• Ground sausage: adds deep savory richness Opt for a sausage with balance of spice and fat
• All-purpose flour: thickens the gravy Go for unbleached for a smooth sauce
• Milk: brings creaminess Whole milk gives the richest result but two percent works too
• Black pepper and salt: heighten the gravy’s flavor Fresh cracked pepper is best for spice
• Shredded cheddar cheese: provides sharp melty finishing flavor A good orange cheddar is classic here
• Green onions: add a pop of fresh color and bite Choose crisp green stalks without wilt

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Oven:

Set your oven to four hundred degrees Fahrenheit Allow a full preheat so the biscuit crust bakes evenly and crisps up

Build the Pizza Base:

Cut each biscuit into four pieces Arrange biscuit quarters on the pre-made pizza crust covering the base fully Gently press so they merge together just a bit to form a rustic layer

Cook the Sausage:

In a large skillet set to medium heat brown the ground sausage Use a spoon to break it up into crumbles Continue until no pink remains and edges turn brown This step is key for flavor

Make the Gravy:

Sprinkle flour over browned sausage Stir well so the fat coats every piece of flour Slowly pour in the milk while whisking non stop to combine all the drippings and flour Keep stirring constantly over medium heat until it bubbles and thickens Should take about five to seven minutes Season generously as it thickens so the gravy pops

Assemble the Pizza:

Pour hot sausage gravy directly over the layered biscuit crust Be sure to spread gravy to all edges so every bite is creamy Sprinkle cheddar cheese evenly across the top Cheese will melt into the gravy for a gooey layer

Bake to Perfection:

Slide the pizza onto the middle rack Bake for twenty to twenty five minutes Watch for a deep golden brown crust and bubbling edges Let cool slightly before slicing

Finish and Serve:

Scatter chopped green onions across just before serving They add color and a little sharpness

Storage Tips

Any leftover pizza keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days To reheat place slices on a foil lined baking sheet and warm in the oven at three hundred and fifty degrees until hot This keeps the crust from drying out and helps the cheese melt again

Ingredient Substitutions

If you prefer turkey sausage it works great and makes the dish a bit lighter For dairy free needs you can use plant milk and vegan cheese or even a plant based biscuit if available Want more heat Try swapping half the cheddar for pepper jack cheese

Serving Suggestions

This pizza is a full meal on its own but I love serving it with a simple fruit salad or fresh squeezed juice You can also cut it into small squares to serve as part of a brunch spread or holiday breakfast
