Is there anything more comforting than waking up to the smell of sausage, eggs, and melted cheese all baked onto a golden crust? For me, Breakfast Pizza brings back weekend mornings at my Nonna’s house, where leftover dough was never wasted — it was transformed into something magical the next day. This modern version, inspired by that memory, is a blend of hearty ingredients and fast, fuss-free preparation using refrigerated biscuits for the crust.
Whether you’re feeding a crowd or craving something different for brunch, this recipe checks all the boxes: warm, filling, cheesy, and utterly delicious.
Why You’ll Love This Breakfast Pizza Recipe

- One-pan wonder – All the best breakfast elements baked into one glorious dish.

Ingredients (Serves 8)
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 4 large eggs
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or blend)
- 1–2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 1–1½ cups milk (adjust for gravy thickness)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes, green onions, or hot sauce
How to Make Breakfast Pizza
Step 1: Prep the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Open the biscuit can, separate biscuits, and press them onto a baking sheet to form a unified pizza crust. Bake for 5–6 minutes to par-bake.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
While the crust bakes, brown the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Set aside half the sausage for topping and leave the rest in the pan for gravy.
Step 3: Make Sausage Gravy
Lower the heat to medium. Add 1–2 tablespoons of flour to the sausage in the skillet and stir well to coat. Slowly pour in milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened to your liking. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Scramble the Eggs
In another pan, scramble the eggs gently over medium heat. Cook until just set — they’ll finish baking in the oven.
Step 5: Assemble the Pizza
Remove crust from the oven. Spread sausage gravy over it like a pizza sauce. Add scrambled eggs, the reserved sausage, and top generously with shredded cheese.
Step 6: Bake
Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake at 325°F for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Tips for the Best Breakfast Pizza
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Shred your own cheese for better melting (pre-shredded has anti-caking agents).
- Want spice? Add jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
- Make it a meal prep winner by prepping ingredients the night before.
- Try biscuit alternatives like crescent roll dough or pizza dough.
Variations to Try
- Bacon Breakfast Pizza: Swap sausage for crispy bacon crumbles.
- Veggie Lovers: Add sautéed peppers, mushrooms, and spinach.
- Southwestern Style: Add pepper jack cheese and top with avocado slices and salsa.
- Mini Pizzas: Use individual biscuit rounds for single-serve portions.
