Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits Base
- Fluffy biscuits (homemade or store-bought, quantity as desired to cover pizza pan)
- Butter (optional, for making homemade biscuits and for richness)
Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour alternative)
- 2 cups milk
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 to 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or other cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuits: Arrange biscuit dough on a pizza pan or baking sheet, pressing into a rough circle or rectangle to form the pizza crust base. If using store-bought biscuits, separate and flatten slightly for an even base.
- Cook the Sausage Gravy: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground breakfast sausage until fully cooked, then remove excess grease. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the gravy is thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spoon the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit base, leaving a border around the edges for crispiness. Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, covering all the gravy.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled pizza in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve immediately to enjoy gooey, savory bites.
Notes
- Use cold butter when making biscuits from scratch for a flaky crust.
- Do not overcrowd the sausage in the pan to ensure it browns well and develops flavor.
- Add milk to the gravy slowly to achieve a creamy but not runny consistency.
- Preheat oven to ensure biscuits bake evenly and develop a golden crust.
- Allow pizza to rest a few minutes before slicing to prevent gravy spilling.
