Ingredients You’ll Need
Biscuit Base
- 1 batch Biscuit Dough (homemade or store-bought) – Provides the fluffy crust. Homemade gives more flavor, while store-bought keeps it quick.
Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb Breakfast Sausage – Pork, turkey, or plant-based options all work. The fat adds richness to the gravy.
- 2 tbsp Flour – Acts as the thickening agent, binding the fat and milk.
- 2 cups Milk – Whole milk ensures creaminess, but 2% or almond milk works in a pinch.
- Salt & Black Pepper – Adjust seasoning to taste.
Toppings
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese – Cheddar is classic, but try mozzarella, Colby Jack, or even pepper jack for spice.
- 2 Eggs, lightly beaten – Drizzled over the top for richness and texture.
- Optional Veggies – Bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or onions (sautéed to remove moisture).
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a pizza stone or baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the crust – Roll out biscuit dough into a 12–14 inch circle. Place on your baking sheet.
- Cook the sausage – In a skillet over medium heat, brown sausage until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Make the gravy – Sprinkle flour over sausage, stir, and cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk. Simmer until thickened (about 5–7 minutes). Season generously.
- Assemble the pizza – Spread sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust. Sprinkle cheese on top.
- Add extras – Scatter optional cooked veggies.
- Egg drizzle – Whisk eggs lightly and drizzle across the pizza surface.
- Bake – Transfer to the oven and bake 20–25 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
- Cool & slice – Let rest 5 minutes before cutting for cleaner slices. Serve warm.
Pro Tips for Success
How do I keep the crust fluffy?
Don’t overwork biscuit dough. Cold butter (if homemade) creates layers that bake up tender and airy.
Can I make the gravy ahead?
Yes! Prepare the sausage gravy up to 2 days in advance. Store in an airtight container and warm gently before assembling.
What’s the best cheese for this pizza?
Cheddar melts beautifully, but mozzarella gives a stretchy finish. A blend works best for both flavor and texture.
Best Ways to Serve
This Biscuits & Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza is filling on its own, but pairing it with light, fresh sides balances the richness:
- A simple fruit salad (try our Fresh Berry Salad with Mint).
- Hash browns or crispy breakfast potatoes.
- A leafy green salad for brunch gatherings.
- Fresh orange juice, coffee, or sweet iced tea for drinks.

2 tbsp Flour Used for thickening the gravy.
2 cups Milk Preferably whole for creaminess.
to taste Black Pepper Season to your preference.
to taste Salt Season to your preference.
1 cup Shredded Cheese Your choice—cheddar works beautifully.
2 Eggs (slightly beaten) To drizzle over the pizza.
optional Bell peppers, spinach, or any favorite veggies Cooked before adding to prevent excess moisture.
Instructions
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the pizza.
Roll out your biscuit dough on a floured surface to form a large circle. Place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned. Drain off any excess fat if necessary.
Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Gradually add in the milk while whisking, allowing the mixture to thicken as it simmers. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuit base, spreading it evenly. Top with shredded cheese and any additional toppings you desire.
Drizzle the beaten eggs over the pizza before placing it in the oven.
Bake the pizza for about 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let it cool slightly before slicing it up and serving warm.
Notes
For perfecting, consider using homemade biscuits for fluffiness. Substituting sausage with plant-based options gives a meat-free alternative. Pair with fresh fruit salad or hash browns for a balanced meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days, or frozen for up to two months.
