Make this hearty, cheesy sausage gravy breakfast pizza using a simple crescent roll crust for a crowd-pleasing brunch or weekend 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 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into a 12-inch circle on a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  2. While the crust bakes, prepare the sausage gravy. Cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until fully browned. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir constantly for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring often, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  5. Scramble the eggs in a separate small pan until just set. Do not overcook them.
  6. Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the partially baked crust, leaving a small border for the edge.
  7. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the gravy layer. Top with the scrambled eggs. If using, sprinkle the Pepper Jack cheese over the eggs.
  8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust edges are golden brown.
  9. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, you can bake the dough for an extra 2 minutes before adding toppings.
  • If you prefer a biscuit crust, use 8 refrigerated biscuit dough pieces pressed together to form the base instead of crescent rolls.
  • You can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage if you prefer a lower-fat option.
