Ingredients:

For the Biscuit Crust:

- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Creamy Sausage Gravy:
- 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, depending on your preference – I love a little kick!)

- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for an extra subtle warmth)
For the Toppings:
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, your call!)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for that perfect melt!)

- Salt and pepper to taste (for the eggs)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (for garnish – adds a beautiful pop of color and freshness!)

Equipment You’ll Need:

Before we dive into making this incredible Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza, let’s gather our tools. Having everything ready makes the process so much smoother and more enjoyable!

Large baking sheet (at least 15×10 inches, a half-sheet pan is perfect)
Parchment paper (a real lifesaver for easy cleanup and preventing sticking)

Large skillet or Dutch oven (for browning the sausage and making the gravy)
Whisk (essential for lump-free gravy!)
Small bowl (for scrambling eggs)

Spatula or wooden spoon
Measuring cups and spoons
Pizza cutter or sharp knife (for serving)

Preparing Your Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza Base:

This is where our breakfast pizza journey truly begins! A sturdy, flavorful biscuit crust is the foundation of our masterpiece. We’re going to transform ordinary canned biscuits into something truly special. Get ready to impress yourself!

Preheat Your Oven and Prep the Pan: First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s warming up, line your large baking sheet with parchment paper. This isn’t just for easy cleanup; it also helps prevent the biscuit dough from sticking and ensures an even bake. Trust me, you don’t want to skip this step!
Arrange the Biscuits: Open those cans of biscuit dough. On your parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the biscuits in a single layer. You want them to be touching and forming a rough rectangular shape. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly even yet; we’ll fix that in the next step.

Form the Crust: Now, for the fun part! Using your fingers, gently but firmly press the biscuits together. You’re aiming to create a uniform, contiguous crust that covers the entire surface of your baking sheet, or at least a large rectangular area. Make sure there are no gaps between the biscuits; we want a solid base for our gravy and toppings. I like to push them slightly up the sides of the pan too, creating a bit of a “crust” edge, just like a pizza!
Season the Crust: In a small bowl, melt your 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. This seasoned butter is going to elevate our biscuit crust from plain to utterly delicious.
Brush and Par-Bake: Generously brush the entire surface of your biscuit crust with the seasoned melted butter. This not only adds flavor but also helps the crust achieve a beautiful golden-brown color. Place the baking sheet into your preheated oven and par-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. We’re looking for it to be lightly golden and slightly puffed. It doesn’t need to be fully cooked through yet, as it will bake more with the toppings. This par-baking step is crucial to prevent a soggy bottom once the gravy goes on.

Remove and Cool (Briefly): Carefully remove the par-baked biscuit crust from the oven and set it aside to cool slightly while we prepare the other components. Leave the oven on; we’ll be putting this back in soon!

Crafting the Creamy Sausage Gravy:

Ah, the heart and soul of our Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza – the sausage gravy! This rich, creamy, and flavorful gravy is what brings the “biscuits and gravy” magic to our pizza. Making a good gravy is a fundamental skill, and I’ll walk you through it to ensure yours is absolutely perfect.

Brown the Sausage: In your large skillet or Dutch oven, crumble the pound of bulk breakfast sausage. Cook it over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, until it’s fully browned and no pink remains. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to get some nice crispy bits – that’s where a lot of the flavor lives!

Drain Excess Fat (Mostly): Once the sausage is cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage crumbles to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Do not drain all the fat from the skillet! You want to leave about 2-3 tablespoons of the sausage drippings in the pan. This rendered fat is essential for creating our roux, which is the base of our gravy. If there’s significantly more than 3 tablespoons, carefully pour out the excess. If there’s less, you can add a little bit of butter or oil to make up the difference.
Make the Roux: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the ¼ cup of all-purpose flour directly into the remaining sausage drippings in the skillet. Immediately begin whisking constantly. You want to cook the flour and fat together for about 1-2 minutes, forming a thick paste known as a roux. This step cooks out the raw flour taste and helps thicken the gravy. It should smell a bit nutty and turn a very light golden color. Don’t rush this!
Gradually Add Warm Milk: This is a critical step for a smooth, lump-free gravy. Slowly, a little at a time (about ¼ to ½ cup at a time), whisk the warm milk into the roux. After each addition, whisk vigorously until the liquid is fully incorporated and smooth before adding more. Continuing to whisk as you add the milk prevents lumps and ensures a silky-smooth gravy. The gravy will seem very thick at first, then thin out, then thicken again as you continue to add milk. Be patient and keep whisking!

Simmer and Thicken: Once all the milk has been added, bring the gravy to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but still pourable. Remember, it will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Season the Gravy: Stir the cooked sausage crumbles back into the gravy. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and if you like a little extra warmth, a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You want it flavorful and perfectly seasoned.
Keep Warm: Remove the gravy from the heat and set it aside, keeping it warm while we prepare the eggs and assemble our pizza.

Preparing the Fluffy Scrambled Eggs:

No breakfast pizza would be complete without eggs! We’re going for light and fluffy scrambled eggs to perfectly complement the rich gravy and cheesy goodness.

Whisk the Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack your 4 large eggs. Add the 2 tablespoons of milk or cream, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Whisk everything together really well with a fork or a small whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy. The milk/cream helps make them extra tender and fluffy.
Scramble to Perfection: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. If your skillet isn’t non-stick, a tiny pat of butter or a spray of cooking oil will help. Pour in the egg mixture. As the eggs begin to set on the bottom, gently push them from the edges towards the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process, folding and stirring gently, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist. The key here is not to overcook them! We want them soft and fluffy, not dry and rubbery. This should only take about 3-5 minutes.

Set Aside: Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat immediately and set them aside. They’ll finish cooking a little bit in the oven, so keeping them slightly underdone now is ideal.

Assembling Your Delicious Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza:

Now for the grand finale of preparation – assembling all our wonderful components onto that beautiful biscuit crust. This is where your Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza truly comes to life!

Layer the Gravy: Retrieve your par-baked biscuit crust from earlier. Evenly spread the entire batch of warm, creamy sausage gravy over the biscuit crust. Make sure to go all the way to the edges that you pushed up earlier. Don’t be shy with the gravy; it’s a star of the show!

Sprinkle the Cheese (First Layer): Sprinkle about half of your shredded cheddar cheese (¾ cup) and half of your shredded mozzarella cheese (¾ cup) directly over the sausage gravy. This layer of cheese will melt down into the gravy, creating an incredibly gooey and flavorful foundation.
Distribute the Scrambled Eggs: Carefully spoon or scatter the fluffy scrambled eggs over the cheese layer. Try to distribute them as evenly as possible so every slice of pizza gets a good portion of egg.
Add More Cheese (Second Layer): Now, for the grand cheese finale! Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup of shredded cheddar cheese and ¾ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the scrambled eggs. This top layer will get beautifully golden and bubbly in the oven, creating that irresistible pizza pull.

Prepare for Baking: At this point, your Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza is looking absolutely magnificent! Carefully transfer the baking sheet back to the oven.

Baking and Serving Perfection:

The moment of truth! Baking your Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza to golden-brown, bubbly perfection. The aromas filling your kitchen will be absolutely incredible, a true testament to the deliciousness you’ve created.

Bake Until Golden and Bubbly: Bake your breakfast pizza in the preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for approximately 15-20 minutes. You’re looking for the cheese to be completely melted, bubbly, and beautifully golden-brown around the edges. The biscuit crust underneath should also be fully cooked and golden. If you notice the edges browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the pizza with aluminum foil for the last few minutes of baking.

Rest Before Slicing: Once it’s perfectly baked, carefully remove the Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza from the oven. I know it’s tempting to dive right in, but letting it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing is important. This brief resting period allows the cheese and gravy to set slightly, making for cleaner slices and preventing everything from sliding off.
Garnish and Serve: After resting, sprinkle the freshly chopped chives generously over the entire pizza. The vibrant green chives add a lovely fresh counterpoint to the rich flavors and make the pizza look even more appetizing.
Slice and Enjoy: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice your Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza into squares or wedges, just like you would a traditional pizza. Serve immediately and watch everyone’s faces light up! This dish is truly best enjoyed hot.

Tips for the Best Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza:

Here are a few extra nuggets of wisdom to ensure your Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza is always a resounding success!

Don’t Skimp on the Butter and Fat: The seasoned butter on the crust and the sausage drippings for the roux are crucial for flavor and texture. Embrace them!
Warm Milk for Gravy: Seriously, warming the milk slightly before adding it to the roux makes a huge difference in achieving a smooth, lump-free gravy. Cold milk can cause the roux to seize up.

Seasoning is Key: Taste your gravy! Before you add it to the pizza, make sure the salt, pepper, and any optional cayenne are just right. It’s much harder to adjust once everything is assembled.
Prevent Soggy Crust: The par-baking step for the biscuit crust is non-negotiable for this Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza. It creates a barrier that prevents the gravy from making the bottom crust soft and unappetizing.
Customizing Your Toppings: While I love the classic scrambled eggs, feel free to get creative! You could add cooked bacon bits, diced bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms, or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra heat.

Make-Ahead Option (Partially): You can cook the sausage gravy a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if it’s too thick, before assembling. You can also par-bake the crust a few hours ahead. This makes morning assembly a breeze!
Leftovers: If you’re lucky enough to have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or in a toaster oven for best results. The toaster oven will help crisp up the crust again.
Presentation Matters: Don’t underestimate the power of fresh chives or even a sprinkle of paprika for color. A beautifully presented dish always tastes better!

I hope you enjoy making and devouring this magnificent Easy Biscuits And Gravy Breakfast Pizza as much as I do. It’s truly a showstopper for any breakfast or brunch gathering, and once you try it, I bet it’ll become a regular in your rotation!

Serving Suggestions to Elevate Your Experience:

While this breakfast pizza is a magnificent standalone meal, there are so many ways to enjoy it and even more ways to put your own unique spin on it. Fresh out of the oven, it’s a masterpiece. Serve it with a simple side of fresh fruit – perhaps some berries, melon, or sliced oranges – to add a burst of freshness that complements the savory richness of the pizza. A piping hot cup of coffee or a glass of chilled orange juice would be the perfect accompanying beverage. Don’t forget, a dash of your favorite hot sauce on individual slices can add a fantastic kick for those who like a little heat!

And when it comes to variations, the sky’s the limit! Feel free to customize your pizza to fit your family’s preferences or whatever you have on hand. For the meat, while sausage is traditional, crispy bacon bits, diced ham, or even shredded chicken would be delicious additions. Vegetarians could opt for sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers in their gravy base for an equally satisfying experience. Experiment with different cheeses too! A mix of sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack creates a lovely melt, but pepper jack could add a spicy zing, or mozzarella for a classic pizza stretch. You could even swap out the type of gravy – a simple country gravy, a rich mushroom gravy, or even a spicy jalapeño gravy could transform the dish entirely. For an extra layer of indulgence, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives or green onions just before serving. Some adventurous cooks might even top individual slices with a perfectly fried or poached egg for an extra runny yolk experience. If you’re feeling ambitious, homemade biscuits take it to another level, but store-bought refrigerated biscuit dough works wonderfully and saves time, keeping it truly “easy.”
