BISCUITS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY BREAKFAST PIZZA
This Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza combines the comfort of biscuits and sausage gravy with the fun of a breakfast pizza. Perfect for a hearty and indulgent breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
For the Biscuit Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk
For the Sausage Gravy:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Biscuit Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle about ¼-inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the flour to the skillet and whisk for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a gravy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well.
Assemble the Breakfast Pizza:
- Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked biscuit crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the gravy.
- Crack the eggs evenly spaced over the pizza.
- Bake in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Crust Alternatives: For convenience, you can use store-bought biscuit dough or a pre-made pizza crust.
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to use other cheeses like pepper jack, Monterey Jack, or gouda for different flavors.
- Vegetable Additions: You can add toppings like sautéed bell peppers, onions, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
- Make-Ahead: The sausage gravy can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Assemble the pizza just before baking.
- Leftovers: Store any leftover breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
