Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Crescent roll dough forms the perfect pizza crust base—flaky, buttery, and requiring no rising time. It bakes up golden and crisp while supporting all those delicious toppings.
Turkey sausage crumbles provide lean protein and that classic breakfast sausage flavor without the hassle of cooking raw meat.
Country gravy mix creates the creamy, savory base layer that brings the whole pizza together. It’s quick and convenient, though you can certainly make homemade country gravy if you have a favorite recipe.
Eggs add that essential breakfast element, creating a fluffy, protein-rich layer that pairs perfectly with the gravy. The gentle cooking method ensures they remain tender on the pizza.
Milk helps create silky, tender scrambled eggs. Whole milk works best, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
Salt and pepper are simple but essential seasonings that enhance the flavor of the eggs and balance the richness of the gravy and cheese.
Butter adds richness to the scrambled eggs and prevents sticking during cooking. Its slight nuttiness enhances the overall flavor profile.
Cheddar cheese provides that classic sharp, tangy flavor and beautiful orange color that melts beautifully over the top of the pizza.
Pepper jack cheese brings a subtle heat and creaminess that complements the savory gravy and adds an interesting flavor dimension to the pizza.

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a round pizza pan. Unroll crescent dough and arrange triangles in a circular pattern, pressing seams together to form an even crust. Bake 11-13 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare country gravy mix according to package instructions. Stir in cooked turkey sausage crumbles and keep warm.
Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add egg mixture, and cook gently until softly set and creamy.
Spread sausage gravy evenly over the baked crust. Top with scrambled eggs, then sprinkle with both shredded cheeses.
Return pizza to oven and bake 5-10 minutes until cheese melts and eggs are fully set. Let rest before slicing.

Variations

Vegetarian Option: Substitute the turkey sausage with plant-based sausage crumbles and use vegetarian gravy mix.
Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños, a dash of hot sauce to the gravy, or use all pepper jack cheese for more heat.
Loaded Breakfast Pizza: Add sautéed bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms between the gravy and egg layers.
Herbaceous Twist: Sprinkle fresh chopped chives, parsley, or dill over the finished pizza for brightness and color.
Hash Brown Crust: For a gluten-free option, press thawed hash browns into the pizza pan, bake until crispy, then add toppings.

Storage/Reheating

Refrigeration: Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Freezing: This pizza freezes well. Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 1 month.
Reheating in Oven: For best results, reheat refrigerated slices in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes until heated through and crisp.
Reheating in Microwave: For quick reheating, microwave individual slices for 60-90 seconds. Note that the crust won’t be as crisp with this method.
Make Ahead: You can prepare components separately (bake the crust, make the gravy with sausage, and cook the eggs) and assemble and bake right before serving for maximum freshness.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the components separately a day in advance. Store the baked crust at room temperature (covered), and refrigerate the sausage gravy and scrambled eggs separately. Assemble and bake just before serving, adding a few extra minutes to the final bake time.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of crescent rolls?

Absolutely! Homemade or canned biscuit dough works wonderfully as an alternative crust. Press the dough into an even layer on your pizza pan and pre-bake until just golden before adding toppings.

What can I substitute for turkey sausage?

You can use any type of breakfast sausage—pork, chicken, or plant-based alternatives all work well. If using raw sausage, cook it thoroughly before incorporating it into the gravy.

Is there a way to make this recipe lower in calories?

Yes, use reduced-fat crescent rolls, turkey or chicken sausage, fat-free gravy mix, egg whites or an egg substitute, and reduced-fat cheese to lower the calorie content significantly.

Can I add vegetables to this breakfast pizza?

Definitely! Sautéed bell peppers, onions, spinach, or mushrooms make excellent additions. Add them between the gravy and egg layers or mix them into the scrambled eggs.

What’s the best way to ensure the crust doesn’t get soggy?

Make sure to pre-bake the crust until it’s golden brown, and allow the sausage gravy to cool slightly before spreading it on the crust. This helps prevent excess moisture from making the crust soggy.

Can I use a different cheese blend?

Absolutely! Monterey Jack, mozzarella, Colby, or even Swiss cheese would work well. Use your favorite melting cheeses or whatever you have on hand.

How do I know when the pizza is done?

The pizza is done when the cheese is completely melted and just beginning to bubble and turn golden in spots. The edges of the crust should be deep golden brown.

Can I make this in a rectangular baking sheet instead of a round pizza pan?

Yes, this recipe adapts well to different pan shapes. For a rectangular baking sheet, you may need to adjust the baking time slightly and watch for even browning of the crust.

How should I serve this breakfast pizza?

Serve it warm, cut into slices like a traditional pizza. It pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit, hash browns, or a simple green salad for a complete breakfast or brunch.
