Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (substitute with homemade biscuits if preferred)
• 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (use turkey sausage for a leaner option)
• 2 cups whole milk (or dairy-free milk like oat or almond)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour works too)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (vegan cheese for dairy-free)
• 2 large eggs, scrambled (tofu scramble as a vegan substitute)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a parchment-lined baking sheet, flatten each biscuit dough piece into roughly a 5-inch circle to form the pizza crust.
2. Bake the biscuit bases for about 10 minutes or until they are golden and firm enough to hold toppings.
3. While the biscuits bake, cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well. Cook for 1 minute to get rid of the floury taste.
5. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
6. Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the baked biscuit crusts. Then evenly distribute the scrambled eggs on top.
7. Sprinkle plus one cup of shredded cheddar cheese over each pizza.
8. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Expert Tips

For the best texture, ensure your biscuit base is baked until golden but not overly hard before adding toppings. Use low-moisture cheddar for ideal melting. If you want to make this dish ahead of time, assemble pizzas but bake only the crusts first. Add toppings just before reheating and serving.

Storage

Store leftover breakfast pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a preheated oven to preserve crispiness.

Variations

• Vegan: Use plant-based sausage crumbles, dairy-free milk and cheese, and scramble tofu with savory spices.
• Gluten-Free: Start with gluten-free biscuit dough and use gluten-free flour for the gravy.
• Dairy-Free: Swap milk and cheese for dairy-free alternatives.
• Low Carb: Substitute biscuit bases with low-carb flatbreads or cauliflower pizza crusts.
