Make this hearty Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza using a flaky crescent roll crust. It combines creamy sausage gravy, eggs, and melted cheese for a satisfying, quick brunch or family breakfast.

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 garlic powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack 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, sealing the seams to form 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 as it cooks. 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.
  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 in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Keep the gravy warm over low heat.
  6. In a separate small skillet, cook the 4 eggs to your preference (scrambled or sunny-side up). If scrambling, cook until just set.
  7. Spread the warm sausage gravy evenly over the partially baked crescent roll crust.
  8. Arrange the cooked eggs over the gravy layer.
  9. Sprinkle both the cheddar and pepper jack cheeses over the top.
  10. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust edges are deep golden brown.
  11. Slice and serve immediately as a comfort food breakfast recipe.

Notes

  • For a Southern Style Breakfast variation, substitute the crescent roll dough with refrigerated biscuit dough, pressing the biscuits into the pan to form a solid base before baking.
  • If you prefer a make-ahead brunch option, you can prepare the sausage gravy up to one day in advance and reheat it before assembling the pizza.
  • To make this a heartier egg pizza, use 6 eggs instead of 4.
