Sausage Gravy Biscuit Breakfast Pizza

This Sausage Gravy Biscuit Breakfast Pizza is my kind of comfort food. It takes all the cozy flavors of a Southern breakfast—fluffy biscuits, savory sausage gravy, melty cheese, and optional eggs—and turns them into a loaded, handheld slice of heaven. It’s perfect for weekend brunch or any time I want something hearty and satisfying.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this recipe transforms classic breakfast staples into something fun and creative. The biscuit crust is buttery and soft, the sausage gravy is creamy and full of flavor, and the cheeses make it rich and gooey. It’s customizable, great for feeding a group, and always disappears fast. Whether I top it with baked eggs or scrambled them separately, it’s a warm, filling dish that’s hard to beat.

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the biscuit crust:

• All-purpose flour

• Baking powder

• Salt

• Cold butter, cubed

• Milk

For the sausage gravy:

• Ground sausage

• All-purpose flour

• Whole milk

• Salt

• Black pepper

• Garlic powder

For the toppings:

• Shredded mozzarella cheese

• Shredded cheddar cheese

• Eggs (optional – scrambled or baked on top)

• Extra cooked sausage crumbles (optional)

• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

directions

1. I preheat the oven to 425°F and grease or line a large baking sheet or pizza stone.

2. In a bowl, I mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit base. I cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly.

3. I stir in the milk just until a soft dough forms, then press or roll it into a 12-inch round and place it on the baking sheet.

4. I bake the biscuit crust for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are just turning golden. I set it aside to cool slightly.

5. While the crust bakes, I brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.

6. I sprinkle in the flour and stir well to coat the sausage, then slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. I let it simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.

7. I season the gravy with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then remove it from heat.

8. I spread a generous layer of the sausage gravy over the biscuit crust.

9. I top it with shredded mozzarella and cheddar, and if I have extra sausage, I sprinkle that on too.

10. If I’m adding eggs directly to the pizza, I crack them on top before baking. Otherwise, I scramble them separately to add after.

11. I return the pizza to the oven and bake for 11–12 more minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

12. I finish it off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve warm.

Servings and timing

This breakfast pizza serves 6 to 8 people. It takes about 20 minutes to prep and 20–22 minutes to bake in total, so I usually have it ready in about 40 minutes.

Variations

Sometimes I use spicy sausage or add chopped green onions to the gravy for extra flavor. I’ve also tried this with pepper jack cheese for a little kick. If I’m making it vegetarian, I skip the sausage and use a mushroom gravy instead. And for a smaller version, I bake the dough in mini rounds for individual breakfast pizzas.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I use the oven or toaster oven at 350°F until warmed through—about 10 minutes. The microwave works, but the crust stays crispier when reheated in the oven.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought biscuit dough?

Yes, I can. If I’m short on time, I roll out a tube of refrigerated biscuit dough to form the crust and bake it the same way.

Do I have to pre-bake the crust?

Yes, I pre-bake it so it doesn’t get soggy when I add the gravy and toppings.

What type of sausage works best?

I use breakfast sausage, but spicy Italian sausage or even turkey sausage also works great depending on the flavor I want.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I prepare and bake the biscuit crust and gravy ahead of time. I assemble and bake it fresh in the morning for best results.

How do I know when the eggs are cooked if I bake them on top?

I look for whites that are set and yolks that are still slightly jiggly if I want them runny. For fully cooked eggs, I bake a few minutes longer.

Conclusion

This Sausage Gravy Biscuit Breakfast Pizza is a cozy, filling twist on traditional breakfast fare. From the buttery biscuit base to the creamy sausage gravy and cheesy topping, it’s everything I want in a morning meal—warm, flavorful, and fun to eat. Whether I’m feeding a crowd or just treating myself, this one’s always a winner.
