Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits (8 count) – you can substitute with homemade biscuit dough if preferred
- 1 pound breakfast sausage – ground turkey or plant-based sausage can be used
- 2 cups milk – dairy-free milk works for a lactose-free version
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese – cheddar or provolone can also be delicious
- 2 tablespoons butter – use oil or vegan butter for dairy-free
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a large baking sheet.
- Separate and slightly flatten the biscuit rounds. Arrange them on the baking sheet to form a pizza base with little space between.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until biscuits are puffed and light golden brown. Remove to cool slightly.
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- To the same skillet, melt butter, then whisk in flour and cook 1-2 minutes until bubbling.
- Gradually add milk, whisking continuously until thickened into creamy gravy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir sausage back into gravy, then pour over the biscuit base evenly.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese, then bake another 8-10 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then cut into slices and serve warm.
Expert Tips
To ensure the perfect pizza base, don’t over-flatten the biscuits—keep some thickness for a soft, fluffy crust. Use whole milk for a richer gravy, and whisk constantly when adding milk to avoid lumps. For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne or paprika to the gravy. Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave.
Storage
Store leftover breakfast pizza covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Reheat frozen slices in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
Variations
- Vegan: Use plant-based sausage, vegan biscuits, non-dairy milk, vegan butter, and dairy-free cheese.
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free biscuits and flour substitutes like rice or almond flour for the gravy.
- Dairy-Free: Substitute milk and butter with non-dairy alternatives and use dairy-free cheese.
- Spicy: Include chopped jalapeños or hot sauce in the gravy for a kick.
FAQ
- Can I make this Easy Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Pizza ahead of time?
- Yes! You can prepare the sausage gravy a day ahead and assemble the pizza just before baking for a quick morning meal.
- What is the best biscuit to use?
