Biscuits Gravy Breakfast Pizza

This biscuits and gravy breakfast pizza is perfect for weekend mornings or whenever you want a comforting hearty start to your day. It takes all your favorite breakfast flavors and turns them into a shareable pizza that’s surprisingly easy to make.

I first made this on a slow Saturday morning when I wanted something cozy but different. It immediately became a family favorite, and now we make it for Sunday brunch regularly.

Ingredients

• Refrigerated biscuit dough: provides a quick and tasty crust but homemade biscuits work beautifully too
• Breakfast sausage: adds savory, rich flavor, choose high quality for the best taste
• Milk: is essential for creamy gravy, whole milk makes it richest, but low fat works fine
• All-purpose flour: thickens the gravy perfectly, sift it for a smooth sauce
• Black pepper and salt: season the gravy; fresh cracked pepper adds more punch
• Large eggs: baked on top bring richness and a silky texture
• Shredded cheddar cheese: adds melty sharpness; use freshly shredded if you can for better melt
• Chopped green onions: garnish with a fresh crisp bite and color

Instructions

Preheat The Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius to ensure even cooking and a nicely browned crust.

Prepare The Biscuit Base:

Open the biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit by hand until about a quarter inch thick and place them close together in a greased pizza pan to form an even crust. This base will bake crispy and carry the gravy well.

Cook The Sausage:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage. Cook thoroughly, breaking up the meat into small pieces as it browns. Drain excess grease to keep the gravy from becoming greasy.

Make The Gravy:

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage while stirring. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture for about five minutes until thickened and creamy. Season well with salt and black pepper to balance the richness.

Assemble The Pizza:

Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit base, spreading it gently. Crack the eggs on top, spacing them evenly across the pizza. Finish by sprinkling the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over all.

Bake:

Place the assembled pizza in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The biscuits should be golden brown, the eggs cooked through but still tender, and the cheese melted and slightly bubbly.

Garnish And Serve:

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh bright finish. Slice and serve warm for a crowd-pleasing breakfast.

This is one of those dishes where sausage gravy shines. Growing up, my family’s Sunday breakfast was never complete without gravy and biscuits. This pizza format feels like a fun evolution of that tradition.

Storage tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain the gooey cheese and soft eggs without drying out the biscuits.

Ingredient swaps

Use turkey sausage for a lighter option without sacrificing flavor. Substitute cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella to vary the cheese profile and spice level.

Serving ideas

Serve alongside a simple green salad or fresh fruit to cut through the richness. A dollop of hot sauce adds a nice kick if you like heat.

This breakfast pizza combines classic flavors in a new way to start your day with comfort and joy.
