Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven and prep biscuit crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a greased sheet pan or pizza stone, press and flatten biscuits together into a large circle or rectangle. Pinch seams and edges together to form a solid crust. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 2: Make the sausage gravy

In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk. Simmer until thickened (about 3–5 minutes), and season with salt, pepper, and optional cayenne.

Step 3: Scramble the eggs

In a nonstick skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Beat and scramble eggs until just set—don’t overcook. Set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the pizza

Remove biscuit crust from oven. Spread warm sausage gravy over crust, then layer scrambled eggs and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Step 5: Bake and finish

Return pizza to the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with chopped chives or sausage crumbles if desired. Slice and serve!
