Ingredients
For the Biscuit Crust:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional, for brushing the crust)
For the Sausage Gravy:
- 1 lb breakfast beef sausage (bulk sausage or patties, crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
For the Toppings:
- 6 large eggs, scrambled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Biscuit Crust:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers or a rolling pin to form a pizza-like crust. Arrange the biscuits in a single layer on a large baking sheet or pizza stone, leaving a small gap between each one.
- Brush with Butter: If desired, brush the edges of the biscuits with melted butter to enhance the flavor and crispness of the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Make the Sausage Gravy:
- Cook the Sausage: While the biscuits are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sausage is browned and fully cooked.
- Make the Gravy: Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to absorb the fat and thicken.
- Add the Milk: Gradually add the milk to the sausage mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if using. Remove from heat and set aside.
Scramble the Eggs:
- Scramble the Eggs: In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs over medium-low heat. Stir constantly to ensure the eggs cook evenly and remain soft and fluffy. Set aside once cooked.
Assemble the Breakfast Pizza:
- Top the Biscuits: Once the biscuit crust is done, remove it from the oven. Spoon a generous amount of sausage gravy over the biscuits, spreading it evenly across the entire surface.
- Add Scrambled Eggs: Top the gravy with the scrambled eggs, spreading them out evenly.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the eggs and gravy, ensuring the toppings are well-distributed.
- Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives, if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
