Ingredients
Scale
Crust & Biscuits
- 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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the pizza once assembled.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it is fully browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease carefully to keep the gravy from being too oily.
- Make the Sausage Gravy: Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the browned sausage and stir well to incorporate. Gradually add the 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Season with 1 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy.
- Prepare the Biscuit Crust: On a baking sheet or pizza pan, unfold or arrange the 10 flaky biscuits evenly over the 10-inch pre-made pizza crust, pressing them down slightly so they adhere and create a biscuit base.
- Assemble the Pizza: Pour the warm sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust, ensuring the biscuits are well covered but not drowned. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the gravy.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions for freshness. Slice and serve warm for a comforting breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute the pre-made pizza crust with homemade dough or a large flour tortilla for variation.
- Use turkey sausage for a leaner option, adjusting the seasoning accordingly.
- If you prefer your gravy thicker, allow it to cook a bit longer before pouring over the biscuits.
- Green onions add a fresh, slightly pungent flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
- This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the biscuits in a tender, fresh state.
