Ingredients

Scale

Biscuits

  • Store-bought or homemade flaky biscuits (quantity as needed for pizza topping)

Sausage Gravy

  • 1 pound high-quality breakfast sausage
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 to 2 1/2 cups whole milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough or store-bought pre-made pizza crust

Cheese (Optional)

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy: Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Drain excess grease, then sprinkle flour evenly over the sausage. Stir continuously to form a roux. Slowly whisk in milk and cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to a creamy, rich consistency. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  2. Bake the Biscuits and Pizza Crust: If using canned biscuits, bake them according to package instructions until golden and flaky. At the same time, partially bake your pizza crust until it is crisp but not fully browned, ensuring a sturdy base that will not get soggy under the toppings.
  3. Assemble the Pizza: Slice the baked biscuits into halves or quarters and arrange them evenly over the partially baked pizza crust. Pour a generous layer of warm sausage gravy over the biscuits to coat them thoroughly with creamy goodness.
  4. Add Cheese and Finish Baking: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top of the gravy and biscuits. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped herbs such as chives or parsley over the pizza for added color and brightness. Slice and serve the pizza warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use cold biscuits straight from the refrigerator for a flakier texture.
  • Do not overcook the gravy to prevent it from becoming too thick or separating.
  • Partially pre-baking the pizza crust helps avoid sogginess and keeps it crispy under the gravy.
  • Season the gravy gradually with salt and pepper to achieve balanced flavor.
  • Garnishing with fresh herbs adds a pop of freshness and balances the richness.
