This Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza brings everything you love from a Southern breakfast onto one chewy crispy slice. Imagine the classic comfort of sausage gravy and biscuits wrapped into an easy-to-share pizza that works for brunch family breakfasts or even a fun dinner night.

I first made this breakfast pizza for our annual holiday brunch and we laughed about how quickly it disappeared. Since then it is my top pick for tricking sleepy teens into sitting at the table on Sunday mornings.

Ingredients

  • Breakfast sausage crumbles: provide all the hearty and savory flavors you want in traditional biscuits and gravy. Choose one with a little spice for extra kick
  • All-purpose flour: thickens the gravy for that signature creamy texture. Make sure your flour smells fresh before using
  • Milk: keeps the gravy silky and is crucial for both the sauce and the eggs. Whole milk creates the richest results but any will work
  • Pre-baked pizza crust: saves time and gives you a reliable base for all the toppings. Look for one with a light golden color and no cracks
  • Large eggs: are the star of the breakfast layer. Try to use eggs with bright yolks for best flavor
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese: brings gooey meltiness. Sharp Cheddar adds more punch but whatever you have on hand will be delicious
  • Crispy fried onions: give a fun crunchy finish. Grab a fresh container and taste a few to make sure they are crisp and not stale
  • Cooking spray and optional olive oil: make cooking and texture easier

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once fully cooked and little browned check for any extra fat and spoon it off if it looks like too much. Sprinkle flour over the sausage in the skillet and stir it through until the flour coats every bit and disappears. Slowly add the milk letting it absorb between splashes while constantly stirring. The gravy will start off thin but keep cooking and stirring for about ten minutes until it thickens to your preferred consistency. Finish with a hefty dose of cracked black pepper and taste. Set aside
Set up the Pizza Base:
Turn your oven to four hundred degrees and let it preheat while you get the crust ready. Place your pizza crust on a large baking sheet. If you want a more golden and flavorful crust lightly brush on some olive oil
Spread about half the sausage gravy evenly across the pizza crust making sure you reach the edges for every bite to have flavor
Cook the Eggs:
Whisk the eggs with a splash of milk until the mixture looks fluffy and a little frothy. Spray a skillet so nothing sticks then pour in the egg mixture. Stir with a rubber spatula over medium heat scraping gently until the eggs are just set and still creamy looking. You want them a bit soft since they will finish cooking in the oven
Assemble the Pizza:
Layer the scrambled eggs right on top of the sausage gravy base. Scatter the shredded Cheddar cheese all over the eggs for melty goodness in every bite
Bake the Pizza:
Put your assembled pizza into the oven letting it bake for ten to fifteen minutes. Watch for the cheese to melt into bubbles and the crust to become a crisp golden brown at the edges. That is your cue to pull it out
Serve:
Right before serving toss a mound of crispy fried onions on top of the hot pizza. Cut the pizza into slices and hand out while it is still warm for the best experience

You Must Know

  • Perfect option for brunch parties
  • Heats up beautifully for leftovers
  • Great for freezer prep if you wrap individual slices

The sausage gravy always reminds me of family camping trips when breakfast basics tasted extra special cooked outdoors. Shredded Cheddar is my forever favorite for this recipe because it melts into every nook and cranny making each bite extra satisfying.

Storage Tips

Keep leftover pizza slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For best results reheat in the oven at three hundred fifty degrees so the crust gets a little crispy again and the cheese remelts. If you want to freeze cool the pizza completely then wrap slices in plastic wrap followed by foil and freeze for up to one month.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you do not have breakfast sausage swap in cooked ground chicken or turkey plus a dash of sage for flavor. Use your favorite shredded cheese blend if Cheddar is not available. For the gravy any milk will work but non-dairy alternatives may slightly change the flavor.

Ingredients

→ Sausage Gravy

01 1 package (16 oz) breakfast sausage
02 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
03 2 cups whole milk, divided
04 Ground black pepper, to taste

10 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 01

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spatula until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off excess grease if needed. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring to coat the sausage. Slowly add 2 cups of milk while stirring continuously. Cook, stirring often, until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pre-baked pizza crust on a baking sheet. If desired, brush the crust with olive oil for extra flavor. Evenly spread half of the prepared sausage gravy over the crust.

Step 03

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup milk. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until eggs are just set but still soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 04

Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage gravy layer. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese.

Step 05

Bake the assembled pizza in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 06

Remove from the oven and sprinkle crispy fried onions over the top. Slice and serve warm.
