Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the crust
2 packages crescent roll dough

For the sausage gravy
1 pound breakfast sausage
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the eggs and topping
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

I begin by preheating the oven to 375°F. I unroll the crescent dough and press it into a large baking sheet or pizza pan, sealing all the seams to create an even crust. I bake it for 8 to 10 minutes until it is lightly set but not fully browned.

While the crust is baking, I cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. I sprinkle the flour over the sausage, stir well, and cook for about 1 minute. I slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly and let the mixture simmer until thick and creamy. I season the gravy with salt and black pepper, then remove it from the heat.

In a bowl, I whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. I cook them in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, stirring gently until they are softly scrambled.

I spread the sausage gravy evenly over the partially baked crust. I layer the scrambled eggs on top and finish by sprinkling the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the pizza. I return it to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden.

Servings And Timing

This recipe makes 1 large breakfast pizza, which I cut into 7 servings.
Preparation takes about 15 minutes, baking takes about 25 minutes, and the total time is approximately 40 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes switch the cheddar cheese for Colby Jack or a mild cheddar blend. When I want extra seasoning, I add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the sausage gravy. I also enjoy serving this pizza with fresh fruit on the side for balance.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I place slices in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. I use the microwave for convenience, though the crust becomes softer.

FAQs

Can I make this breakfast pizza ahead of time?

I can prepare the sausage gravy and scramble the eggs ahead of time, then assemble and bake the pizza fresh when ready to serve.

Can I use a different crust?

How do I prevent the crust from getting soggy?

I partially bake the crust before adding the toppings, which helps keep it firm.

Can I freeze leftovers?

I can freeze baked slices tightly wrapped for up to 2 months and reheat them in the oven.
