Shake up your morning meal plan with this rich spin on traditional Southern breakfast staples. This morning pizza merges puffy biscuit base with thick sausage gravy, gooey cheese, and runny eggs for an unforgettable daybreak treat that'll quickly become your crew's most requested meal.
Since trying this out, it's now my favorite pick for family gatherings and birthdays. The way those eggs cook right into the cheesy, gravy-covered top makes beautiful slices that always wow whoever's sitting at my table.
Key Ingredients and Smart Picking Advice
- Breakfast Sausage: Grab one with lots of spices - you'll want that fatty goodness for taste.
- Biscuit Dough: Store it in the fridge until you're ready to start cooking.
- Mixed Cheeses: Pairing tangy cheddar with stretchy mozzarella gives you the best texture.
- Fresh Eggs: Take them out early so they're not cold when baking.
- Onions: The milder varieties really shine in the gravy mix.
Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
- Step 1: Building Your Biscuit Foundation
- Handle cold dough fast to keep those flaky layers. Push edges together firmly so there aren't any holes. Form a small lip around the outside to hold your toppings. Poke a few holes with your fork on the surface.
- Step 2: Getting Your Gravy Just Right
- Brown that sausage until you get some crispy edges. Cook your onions in the meat drippings for more flavor. 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 but don't make it soggy. Make little dips for eggs using a spoon. Put cheese around the eggs but not covering them. Add a bit of salt and pepper on each egg.

This dish takes me back to my grandma's kitchen where we'd always have biscuits smothered in gravy on Sunday. Turning her old-school recipe into this pizza version has become our family's new thing, mixing cherished memories with fresh traditions.
The best part 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 delicious runny yolk in their slice.
