Make this hearty, savory breakfast pizza using refrigerated crescent roll dough as a base. It features creamy homemade sausage gravy, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheddar cheese for a comforting weekend brunch or family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 ounce) tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, casing removed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • Optional: Fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it onto a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet, forming a crust. Bake the crust according to package directions until lightly golden, usually about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  2. While the crust bakes, prepare the sausage gravy. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon until it is fully browned. Drain off most of the excess grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir constantly for one minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the gravy thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk the 4 eggs until the yolks and whites are combined. Pour the eggs into the same skillet used for the gravy (no need to clean it) and scramble them over medium-low heat until they are just set but still slightly moist.
  6. Spread half of the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked crescent roll crust.
  7. Top the gravy layer with the scrambled eggs.
  8. Sprinkle both the cheddar and pepper jack cheeses evenly over the eggs.
  9. Spoon the remaining sausage gravy over the cheese layer.
  10. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and garnish with fresh chives if you are using them.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy crust, you can bake the dough on a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet.
  • If you prefer a richer gravy, use half-and-half instead of milk.
  • You can substitute the refrigerated crescent roll dough with refrigerated biscuit dough, pressing the biscuits together to form a solid base.
