Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs , beaten
- 1 pre-baked pizza crust
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper , to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Cook the Breakfast Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
Pro Tip: For added flavor, use spicy sausage if you prefer a kick.
3. Make the Sausage Gravy
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage in the skillet, stirring constantly to coat the meat evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes , allowing the flour to toast slightly.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in the beaten eggs and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy—about 5–7 minutes .
4. Assemble the Pizza
Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked pizza crust, ensuring it covers the surface without spilling over the edges. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Optional: Add toppings like diced green onions, cooked bacon, or sliced mushrooms for extra variety.
5. Bake Until Cheesy Perfection
Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes , or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown around the edges.
Tip : If you want an extra crispy topping, broil the pizza for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking—watch closely to avoid burning.
6. Cool and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into wedges and serve hot with additional toppings like fresh parsley or hot sauce if desired.
Optional: Pair with fresh fruit or a side of hash browns for a complete breakfast feast.
Tips for Success
- Use High-Quality Sausage : Fresh, flavorful sausage enhances the overall taste of the gravy.
- Don’t Overfill the Crust : Leave enough space for the toppings to sit comfortably without making the pizza soggy.
