Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Crust
- 1 (10-inch) pre-made pizza crust
- 1 can (10 biscuits) refrigerated flaky biscuits
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pizza.
- Make the sausage gravy: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage thoroughly until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks for even texture. Once cooked, drain any excess grease to avoid a greasy gravy. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sausage and stir well, allowing the flour to absorb the fat and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
- Assemble the pizza: Lay the pre-made 10-inch pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Evenly layer the cooked flaky biscuits over the crust, pressing them slightly to cover the surface. Pour the thickened sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust, ensuring full coverage.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the gravy-topped biscuit crust to add a creamy, melted topping.
- Bake the pizza: Place the assembled pizza into the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through, the gravy bubbles, and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and optionally sprinkle chopped green onions on top for fresh flavor and color. Slice and serve hot for a decadent breakfast experience.
Notes
- You can substitute the pre-made pizza crust with a homemade biscuit dough for a more authentic touch.
- For a spicier gravy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes with the black pepper.
- Use whole milk for a richer gravy or low-fat milk for a lighter version.
- This recipe can be doubled to serve more people.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
