Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuits
• 1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and press them into a greased pizza pan, forming the crust.
3. Bake the biscuit crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
4. While the crust is baking, cook the ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Continue until the sausage is browned and crumbled.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
6. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly, and cook until the mixture thickens into a gravy-like consistency.
7. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Once the biscuit crust is ready, spread the sausage gravy evenly over the baked crust.
9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the gravy-covered crust.
10. Use a spoon to create 4 small wells in the cheese, then crack one egg into each well.
11. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired level of doneness.
12. Once baked, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.

10 FAQs

1. Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated biscuits?
   Yes, homemade biscuit dough will work perfectly. Just ensure you roll it out to a similar thickness as the refrigerated biscuits.
2. Can I use turkey sausage instead of ground breakfast sausage?
   Yes, turkey sausage can be used as a leaner alternative. Be sure to season it well to match the flavor of traditional breakfast sausage.
3. Can I make this pizza ahead of time?
   While the pizza is best served fresh, you can prepare the sausage gravy and bake the biscuit crust in advance. Store them separately in the fridge and assemble the pizza just before baking.
4. How do I prevent the eggs from overcooking?
   Keep an eye on the eggs while baking. For soft eggs, check at the 12-minute mark, and for firmer eggs, bake a little longer.
5. Can I add other toppings to this pizza?
   Yes, you can add toppings such as sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or even bacon crumbles for extra flavor.
6. What can I use if I don’t have a pizza pan?
   If you don’t have a pizza pan, you can use a regular baking sheet or any oven-safe dish, as long as it is greased and can fit the biscuit crust.
7. Can I use non-dairy milk for the gravy?
   Yes, non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk can be used as a substitute for regular milk in the sausage gravy.
8. Can I freeze this breakfast pizza?
   Yes, you can freeze the baked pizza (without the eggs) for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven, then add the eggs and bake for 10-12 minutes before serving.
9. How do I know when the eggs are set?
   The eggs will have firm whites and slightly runny yolks (for soft eggs). If you prefer fully cooked eggs, bake the pizza a few extra minutes until the yolks are fully set.
10. Can I make this recipe without eggs?
    Yes, you can make this pizza without eggs. Simply leave out the eggs and enjoy a sausage gravy pizza topped with melted cheese and fresh herbs.
