Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 count)
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • 12-inch pizza pan or a large cast-iron skillet
  • large skillet
  • slotted spoon
  • whisk

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan: First things first, get your oven preheating to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or a large cast-iron skillet. This will be the base for our incredible pizza.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground sausage until it's nicely browned, crumbling it with a spoon as it cooks. Once it’s cooked through, use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a separate plate, leaving about 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet. Don’t discard those drippings—that’s where the flavor is!
  3. Make the Sausage Gravy: Reduce the heat to medium. Whisk the flour into the sausage drippings in the skillet, stirring constantly for about a minute until a smooth paste forms. This is your roux, and it's what will thicken the gravy. Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to prevent any lumps from forming. Let the gravy simmer, stirring frequently, until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, and the cooked sausage. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to.
  4. Form the Biscuit Crust: While the gravy is simmering, open your can of biscuits. Separate the biscuits and arrange them in the prepared pizza pan, pressing them down and together to form a solid crust that covers the bottom of the pan. Be sure to press the seams together so the gravy doesn't leak through.
  5. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust, leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese all over the top.
  6. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit crust is golden brown and puffed up, and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  7. Cook the Eggs: While the pizza is baking, cook your eggs however you like them best. Fried eggs with a runny yolk are fantastic here, but scrambled eggs work wonderfully too.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with the cooked eggs. Garnish with a little extra black pepper, some fresh chives if you have them, and a dash of hot sauce for those who like a little kick. Slice it up and serve it warm. This is one of those Feel Good Meals you won't soon forget.

Notes

For a perfectly smooth and creamy gravy, cook the flour in the sausage drippings for a full minute before slowly whisking in the milk. To prevent a soggy crust, press the refrigerated biscuits together firmly to seal the seams, or pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes before adding toppings. You can substitute pork sausage with turkey, Italian sausage, or a plant-based crumble, and swap cheddar with Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese.
