Hey there, breakfast lovers! If you’re anything like me, breakfast is something you truly look forward to every day. And when it comes to a warm, comforting meal, there’s nothing quite like a good plate of biscuits and gravy. Now, imagine all that deliciousness on a pizza! Sounds heavenly, right? Today, I’m going to share my version of an Easy Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Pizza. It’s a delightful twist on two Southern favorites, and trust me, it’s super simple to whip up!
Nutritional Benefits
Did you know that biscuits and gravy can pack some nutritional punch? For starters, the gravy often uses sausage, which has protein that helps keep you full throughout the morning. You can even amp up the nutritional value by adding some veggies like spinach or peppers on your pizza. Plus, if you use whole grain biscuits, you’re getting some fiber as well!
Adapting Your Breakfast Pizza
- Meat-Free Version: Want it vegetarian? Just swap out the sausage for some sautéed mushrooms or a veggie patty crumbled in for that meaty texture.
- Making It Spicy: If you like a kick, toss in some diced jalapeños or use spicy sausage to elevate the flavor.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use almond or oat milk for the gravy and a dairy-free cheese to make this pizza dairy-free—delicious and accommodating!
Easy Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (use your favorite brand)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, based on preference)
- 2 cups of milk (or your preferred non-dairy alternative)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or a cheese blend)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it heats, prepare the dough. Open the biscuit can and separate the biscuits.
- On a greased pizza stone or round baking pan, flatten the biscuits out into a pizza shape, overlapping them slightly as you go, so there are no gaps.
- Bake the biscuit crust for about 10-12 minutes until it starts to lightly brown.
- While that’s baking, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart until browned. Once cooked, remove from the heat.
- In a separate saucepan, whisk together the flour and cooked sausage until combined, then slowly stir in the milk. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once your biscuit crust is done, remove it from the oven and spread the sausage gravy generously over the top.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the gravy, followed by any additional toppings you desire (like green onions).
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Dig in!
Practical & Valuable Tips
- Storage Tip: If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), store the pizza in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the oven before eating!
- Serving Note: This pizza makes for a great brunch centerpiece. Pair it with fresh fruit or a light salad to balance out the richness!
- Substitution Tip: If you’re short on time, you can also use pre-made sausage gravy from the store instead of making it yourself! Just heat it up and pour it over the baked crust.
Equipment Needed
Before you get cooking, here’s a handy list of tools you’ll need:
- An oven-safe pizza stone or round baking pan
- A skillet for cooking the sausage
- A whisk for the gravy
- A mixing spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups for precise ingredients
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use frozen biscuits instead of refrigerated ones? Absolutely! Just make sure they are thawed before you start shaping for the pizza.
- What type of cheese is best for this recipe? I love using cheddar, but feel free to get creative with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a spicy pepper jack for Zing!
- How can I make this pizza gluten-free? Look for gluten-free biscuit dough at your local store, or you could even make a biscuit dough from almond or coconut flour!
- Can I prep this ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the biscuit crust and gravy a day in advance. Just store them separately in the fridge and bake once you’re ready to eat!
- What sides would pair well with this pizza? A fresh fruit salad, crispy hash browns, or even a light green salad can complement the richness perfectly!
