Ingredients
Scale
Meats:
- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- 4 large eggs
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons milk (for scrambling eggs)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 1 can (16.3 ounces/463 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Craft a rustic pizza foundation by gently separating biscuit dough pieces and arranging them across a greased pizza pan, slightly overlapping to create a cohesive base. Press the edges together to eliminate gaps and ensure a uniform surface.
- Transform the biscuit canvas into a golden platform by baking at 375F (190C) for 10-12 minutes, achieving a light, preliminary crispness without complete browning. Remove and allow the crust to rest momentarily.
- In a heavy skillet, render the breakfast sausage until beautifully caramelized and crumbly, separating the meat from its rich drippings. Introduce butter to the same pan, creating a silky roux by whisking in flour and cooking briefly.
- Gradually stream milk into the roux, continuously stirring to develop a velvety, thick gravy. Reincorporate the sautéed sausage, seasoning with freshly cracked black pepper and salt, then allow the mixture to simmer and meld flavors.
- Simultaneously prepare scrambled eggs by whisking them with milk and gently cooking in a separate nonstick pan until they reach a soft, pillowy consistency.
- Lavishly spread the sausage-infused gravy across the partially baked biscuit crust, creating an even, luxurious layer. Distribute the delicate scrambled eggs evenly, then blanket with a generous combination of sharp cheddar and mild mozzarella cheeses.
- Return the pizza to the oven, allowing the cheese to melt into a glistening, bubbling landscape. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the surface transforms into a golden, appetizing masterpiece.
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a vibrant touch. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately while radiating warmth and comfort.
Notes
- Customize the biscuit crust by using homemade or store-bought dough for varying textures and flavors.
- Prevent soggy crust by partially baking biscuits before adding toppings, ensuring a crisp base that holds gravy and eggs.
- Experiment with different sausage types like spicy chorizo or turkey sausage to create unique flavor profiles for health-conscious eaters.
- Control gravy thickness by adjusting milk quantity and cooking time, allowing flexibility for personal preference and dietary needs.
