Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

Refrigerated Biscuit Dough – This serves as the crust for the pizza. It bakes up golden, flaky, and slightly crisp, creating the perfect base for all the toppings.

Breakfast Sausage – A classic choice for that hearty, meaty flavor. I recommend using a mildly spiced sausage, but hot sausage works well for those who like a kick.

All-Purpose Flour – Helps thicken the gravy and give it that traditional creamy texture.

Whole Milk – Creates a rich, velvety sausage gravy. I’ve also tried it with almond milk for a lighter version, and it worked great.

Butter – Adds a smooth richness to the gravy, tying all the flavors together.

Eggs – Scrambled eggs add an extra layer of protein and softness to the pizza, balancing the savory sausage perfectly.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese – Melts beautifully over the pizza, adding gooey, salty goodness.

Salt and Black Pepper – Essential for seasoning every element of this dish just right.

Chives or Green Onions (optional) – Sprinkle on top for a pop of color and freshness.

Directions

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.

1. Prepare the crust: Flatten the biscuit dough and press the biscuits together on the pan to form an even layer. Bake for about 8–10 minutes, just until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, brown the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove the sausage, leaving about a tablespoon of drippings in the pan.
3. Make the gravy: Add butter to the drippings, then whisk in flour to create a roux. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the cooked sausage.
4. Prepare the eggs: In a separate pan, scramble the eggs until just set.
5. Assemble the pizza: Spread the sausage gravy over the baked biscuit crust. Add a layer of scrambled eggs, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions before slicing.
