Ingredients
Crust
- 1 (10-inch) pre-made pizza crust
- 1 can (10 biscuits) refrigerated flaky biscuits
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the breakfast pizza.
- Prepare biscuit crust: Separate the biscuits from the can and arrange them evenly over the 10-inch pre-made pizza crust, creating a flaky and soft base.
- Make the sausage gravy: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked through, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
- Assemble the pizza: Pour the prepared sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust, covering the surface well.
- Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sausage gravy. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and optionally garnish with chopped green onions before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute the pre-made pizza crust with homemade pizza dough if preferred.
- For a spicier twist, add red pepper flakes to the gravy while cooking.
- This recipe serves one hearty breakfast pizza but can be doubled for multiple servings.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best results.
