Description

This School Breakfast Pizza is a nostalgic favorite that brings back memories of early mornings in the cafeteria. With a fluffy crust, savory sausage, creamy country gravy, and melty cheese, it’s a delicious and easy breakfast you can make at home. Perfect for weekends, meal prep, or feeding a crowd.


Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza crust dough (or homemade, about 13.8 oz)

  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 1/4 cups prepared country gravy (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • Cooking spray or oil (for baking sheet)


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

  • Roll out the pizza crust on the baking sheet into a rectangle, pressing it out to the edges.

  • Bake crust for about 7–8 minutes until it’s just starting to set but not browned.

  • Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it browns. Drain excess fat.

  • Spread the gravy evenly over the par-baked crust.

  • Top with sausage, then sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top. Add a pinch of black pepper.

  • Bake for another 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

 

  • Let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.


Notes

  • You can use crescent roll dough or a biscuit dough base if you prefer a softer crust.

  • Swap sausage for bacon or veggie crumbles for a different spin.

  • Want extra flavor? Add scrambled eggs or a dash of hot sauce before baking.
