Ingredients
For the Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza:
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk sausage, not in links)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra gooeyness)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating up, prepare the biscuit dough. Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits.
If you prefer a thinner crust, roll each biscuit out with a rolling pin until it’s about ¼-inch thick, or you can gently press the dough into a circle with your hands. Arrange the flattened biscuits on a large pizza stone or baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
Bake the biscuits for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, remove them from the oven and set them aside.
While the biscuits are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon or spatula as it cooks. Brown the sausage until fully cooked, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Be sure to drain any excess grease to avoid a greasy gravy.
Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the sausage and stir to combine. The flour will help thicken the gravy. Let the sausage and flour mixture cook for about 1-2 minutes to ensure the flour is fully incorporated.
Slowly pour in the 2 cups of milk while stirring the sausage mixture. Bring it to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The gravy will begin to thicken as it simmers. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper to taste.
Continue simmering for another 3-5 minutes, until the gravy has reached a creamy consistency. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
Now it’s time to assemble the breakfast pizza. Start by spreading the sausage gravy evenly over the cooked biscuit crust. Make sure to cover the entire surface, but leave a small border around the edges for a crust.
Next, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the gravy. If you like an extra cheesy pizza, you can also add mozzarella cheese at this point. Feel free to adjust the cheese amounts to your liking.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is crispy. Keep an eye on the pizza during the last few minutes to avoid burning the edges.
Once the cheese has fully melted, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Garnish your Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve hot. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this comforting breakfast treat!
