ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (about 8 biscuits)

• 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 2 cups whole milk

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Pinch of nutmeg (optional, for warmth)

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheddar-Monterey Jack mix)

• 1 tablespoon butter (for scrambling eggs)

• Optional garnish: chopped chives or green onions, hot sauce

directions

1. Preheat & prepare crust
   Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Arrange biscuits in a greased 12″ round or rectangular pizza pan; gently flatten each biscuit to form a connected crust. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.

2. Make sausage gravy
   In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and brown sausage, cooking through. Sprinkle flour over cooked sausage and stir to combine. Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly until sauce thickens (~5 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat.

3. Scramble eggs
   In a small bowl, beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Melt butter in a separate nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Scramble eggs gently until just set; remove from heat to prevent overcooking.

4. Assemble pizza
   Using a spoon, spread sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust. Arrange scrambled eggs over the gravy layer, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

5. Bake to melt
   Return pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Finish & serve
   Remove from oven, garnish with chopped chives or green onions and drizzle hot sauce if desired. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

FAQs

Can I make this vegetarian?

Yes—use a plant-based sausage and a dairy-free gravy base made with vegan butter, flour, and plant milk.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Absolutely—homemade or biscuit-style pizza dough both work well as the base.

How do I prevent soggy crust?

Partially bake the biscuits before adding toppings to firm up the crust and prevent sogginess.

Can I assemble this ahead of time?

Yes—prepare biscuit crust and sausage gravy ahead; assemble with eggs and cheese shortly before baking.

Is this recipe spicy?

As written, it’s mildly spicy if using spicy sausage or hot sauce—control heat by sausage choice and optional add-ins.

What cheese melts best?

Sharp cheddar melts beautifully, but Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a cheese blend all work nicely.

Can I use more eggs?

Yes—just layer more scrambled eggs and adjust cheese accordingly to maintain balance.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes—use two pans or a larger sheet pan; adjust baking times as needed for even cooking.

What sides work well?

Pair with fruit salad, fresh greens, breakfast potatoes, or coffee for a rounded brunch spread.

Keep gravy in its own container in the fridge; reheat gently before spooning over warmed crust or reheated pizza.
