Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Crescent roll dough
Breakfast sausage
All-purpose flour
Milk
Salt and pepper
Eggs
Butter
Shredded cheddar cheese
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, hot sauce

Directions

I preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a baking sheet lightly.
I unroll the crescent dough onto the baking sheet and press the seams to form a solid crust.
I bake the crust for about 8 minutes until it begins to turn golden.
While the crust bakes, I cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it browns.
Once the sausage is cooked, I stir in the flour and cook for a minute before gradually whisking in the milk. I season with salt and pepper and simmer the mixture until it thickens into a smooth gravy.
In a separate pan, I scramble the eggs with butter until they’re just set but still soft.
I spread the sausage gravy evenly over the baked crust, then layer the scrambled eggs on top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
I return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until the cheese melts and bubbles.
After baking, I let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving. Adding chopped green onions or a dash of hot sauce is a nice finishing touch.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 6 people. It takes roughly 10 minutes to prepare and 20–25 minutes to cook, making it a great option for a satisfying breakfast or brunch in under 40 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes swap in different types of breakfast sausage—mild or spicy depending on my mood.
Adding diced bell peppers or spinach to the scrambled eggs adds a fresh twist and extra nutrients.
For a different cheese flavor, I like to use Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
If I want a richer gravy, I stir in a little cream along with the milk.

Storage/reheating

Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container. I reheat slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to maintain a crisp crust. The microwave works too but softens the crust slightly, so I prefer the oven when I can.

FAQs

How do I prevent the crescent roll crust from getting soggy?

I make sure to bake the crust partially before adding the toppings to keep it from becoming soggy.

Can I prepare this breakfast pizza in advance?

Yes, I prepare the sausage gravy and scrambled eggs ahead of time, then assemble and bake the pizza when I’m ready.

Is it possible to freeze leftovers?

Absolutely, I wrap individual slices tightly and freeze them for up to 2 months. When ready, I reheat in the oven or microwave.

What kind of cheese works best?

I usually stick with sharp cheddar, but Monterey Jack or a blend of cheeses works well too.

Can I use biscuit dough instead of crescent rolls?

Yes, I’ve made this with biscuit dough rolled thin for a more rustic texture that’s just as tasty.

Conclusion

This Sausage Gravy Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a comforting, flavorful breakfast without a lot of fuss. It’s easy to prepare, versatile, and always satisfies my craving for a hearty morning meal. Whether for family or friends, it’s a breakfast that never disappoints.
