Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This breakfast pizza is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make, thanks to the use of pre-made biscuit dough. The crispy, buttery crust provides the perfect foundation for a creamy sausage gravy, fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and melty cheddar cheese. The combination of flavors is comforting and satisfying, perfect for a busy morning or a leisurely weekend brunch.

Key Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious breakfast pizza:

1 tube of biscuit dough: This forms the base of your breakfast pizza. Using pre-made dough saves time and effort.
4 large eggs: Scrambled eggs add a rich, fluffy texture.
1 pound ground breakfast sausage: Adds savory, hearty flavor. You can also substitute with turkey sausage or bacon if preferred.
2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded: Melts beautifully and pairs well with the other breakfast ingredients.
Flour & Milk: These are for making the gravy, which ties everything together with a creamy sauce.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Open the tube of biscuit dough and remove the biscuits. Lay them out on a baking sheet, flattening and pressing the edges together to form one solid pizza crust. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect—once it bakes, it will hold together beautifully!

Tip: Lightly flour your hands to make it easier to press and shape the dough without it sticking.
Step 2: Bake the Crust and Cook the Sausage
Place the biscuit crust in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 6 minutes. You want it to be slightly set but not fully baked yet.

While the crust is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and crumble the ground sausage into it. Cook until the sausage is thoroughly browned, and then drain half of the excess grease. Set half of the cooked sausage aside on a plate for topping later.

Tip: For extra flavor, leave a little bit of the fat in the skillet to help make the gravy.
To make the gravy, stir a tablespoon or two of flour into the remaining fat in the pan. Whisk constantly to avoid lumps. Gradually add milk, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. This sausage gravy will be the sauce for your breakfast pizza.

Step 3: Make the Scrambled Eggs
In another skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and scramble them gently, cooking until they are fully set but still soft.

Tip: For fluffier eggs, you can add a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture before cooking. This adds a creamier texture to your scrambled eggs.
Step 4: Assemble the Pizza
Now that your crust is slightly baked, remove it from the oven and start assembling your pizza. First, spread the sausage gravy evenly over the crust, making sure every inch is covered. Next, sprinkle on the cooked sausage that you set aside earlier, followed by the scrambled eggs. Finally, top the pizza with the shredded Cheddar cheese.
