Spice up your morning meals with this decadent spin on traditional Southern comfort food. This breakfast pizza merges puffy biscuit base with rich sausage gravy, gooey cheese, and runny eggs for an unforgettable morning treat your whole family will ask for again and again.
I can't stop making this on special days and holiday mornings. The way those eggs settle into the cheesy, gravy-covered top creates beautiful slices that always wow everyone at the table.
Key Ingredients and Smart Picking Advice
- Breakfast Sausage: Go for one with good seasoning - you need that fat for taste.
- Biscuit Dough: Don't let it warm up until you're ready to use it.
- Mixed Cheeses: Sharp cheddar paired with mozzarella gives you the best stretchy pull.
- Fresh Eggs: Take them out of the fridge early so they cook evenly.
- Onions: The sweet kind make the gravy taste better.
Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
- Step 1: Building Your Biscuit Foundation
- Handle cold dough fast to keep it flaky. Push the edges together well so there aren't any gaps. Make a small ridge around the sides to hold your toppings. Poke some tiny holes with a fork.
- Step 2: Getting Your Gravy Right
- Brown your sausage until you get crispy edges. Cook down onions in the meat drippings for extra kick. Sprinkle flour in slowly while you keep stirring. You'll know it's done when it sticks to your spoon nicely.
- Step 3: Putting It All Together
- Spread gravy across evenly but don't go overboard. Make little spots for eggs using a spoon. Put cheese around the eggs, not directly on them. Add salt and pepper to each egg.

This dish brings back memories of hanging out at my grandma's place on Sunday mornings with biscuits and gravy always on the table. Turning her old-school recipe into this pizza version has become our family thing, blending the old days with new traditions.
The real fun happens in the oven when the biscuit bottom puffs up while those eggs get just firm enough. I've learned to place eggs in certain spots so everyone gets some of that runny yolk goodness in their slice.
