Create a hearty, savory Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza using a flaky crescent roll crust, creamy homemade sausage gravy, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese. This recipe delivers ultimate comfort food for brunch or a weekend morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 oz) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, casing removed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet, forming a crust. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven.
  2. While the crust bakes, cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until fully browned. Drain off most of the grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring often, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Stir the salt, pepper, and sage into the sausage gravy. Remove from heat.
  6. In a separate small skillet, scramble the eggs until they are just set and fluffy.
  7. Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the partially baked crescent roll crust.
  8. Top the gravy layer with the scrambled eggs and then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over everything.
  9. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the crust edges are deeply golden brown.
  10. Let the breakfast pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a Southern-Style Breakfast experience, substitute the crescent roll dough with refrigerated biscuit dough, pressing the biscuits together to form a solid crust base before baking.
  • If you prefer a richer gravy, use half-and-half instead of whole milk.
  • You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the gravy for a slight kick.
