Ingredients

  • 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 –2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Milk as needed (approximately ¾–1 cup)
  • Butter or cooking fat for scrambling eggs

Instructions

Prepare the Oven and Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Arrange the biscuit dough pieces on a baking pan. Flatten each biscuit and press the edges together firmly to form a single, even crust. Bake for 5–6 minutes, just until the dough begins to set.

Cook the Sausage

  • While the crust bakes, cook the ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles, until fully cooked. Drain approximately half of the excess grease. Remove half of the cooked sausage and set aside.

Prepare the Sausage Sauce

  • To the remaining sausage and fat in the skillet, add 1–2 tablespoons of flour. Stir continuously to combine. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly, until a smooth, creamy sauce forms. Remove from heat once the desired consistency is reached.

Scramble the Eggs

  • In a separate skillet, melt a small amount of butter over medium heat. Lightly beat the eggs, then pour them into the skillet and cook gently, stirring, until softly scrambled. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Pizza

  • Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread the sausage sauce evenly over the crust. Top with the reserved cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake and Serve

  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the toppings are heated through. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

To make this recipe gluten free, substitute the refrigerated biscuit dough with a certified gluten-free biscuit or pizza dough. Replace the all-purpose flour in the sausage sauce with a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch. Always verify that sausage and cheese are labeled gluten free.
