How to Make Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Base
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin to form pizza crusts.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the flattened biscuits on a greased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Brush with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 2: Make the Sausage Gravy
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small pieces as it cooks.
- Create the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens.
- Season: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Stir well and let the gravy simmer for a few minutes until creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Breakfast Pizza
- Top with Gravy: Remove the biscuits from the oven and spoon the sausage gravy generously over each biscuit.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the gravy.
- Optional Eggs: If you’re adding eggs, crack them carefully over the cheese, spacing them out evenly.
Step 4: Bake Again
- Final Bake: Return the breakfast pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the eggs are set to your liking.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions, and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
