Ingredients
Scale
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.
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease to prevent a greasy gravy.
- Make the gravy: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage in the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually stir in the milk, continuing to cook and stir until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
- Prepare the biscuit crust: Arrange the refrigerated flaky biscuits evenly over the pre-made pizza crust to form a base layer.
- Assemble the pizza: Pour the hot sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust, covering the biscuits thoroughly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the gravy layer.
- Bake the pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through, the gravy is bubbling, and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions for added flavor and color. Slice and serve warm for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute the pre-made pizza crust with homemade biscuit dough for a fresher base.
- Adjust the seasoning in the gravy according to your preference; some like to add a pinch of cayenne for heat.
- Use low-fat milk to reduce calories and fat content in the gravy.
- Chopped green onions add a nice fresh contrast but can be omitted if preferred.
- If you want a spicier sausage gravy, use spicy breakfast sausage instead of mild.
