Can I Use Store-Bought Sausage Gravy?
Yes! If you’re short on time, store-bought sausage gravy works well in this recipe. However, making your own takes just 10 minutes and adds so much homemade flavor.

Ingredients for the Sausage Gravy Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza
To build this flavorful pizza, you only need a handful of ingredients that come together effortlessly:
- Crescent Roll Dough – This forms your base and bakes into a light, buttery crust. You can find tubes of it in the refrigerated section.
- Breakfast Sausage – Crumbled and browned, it brings savory, peppery flavor that’s essential for the gravy.
- Flour – Used to thicken your homemade sausage gravy.
- Milk – Whole milk adds creaminess to your gravy.
- Eggs – Lightly scrambled, they add fluff and richness on top.
- Shredded Cheese – A blend of cheddar and mozzarella melts beautifully and adds gooey deliciousness.
- Black Pepper – Don’t be shy with the pepper! It enhances the sausage flavor in the gravy.
How To Make the Sausage Gravy Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the crescent dough onto a greased baking sheet or pizza pan. Pinch the seams together and slightly roll up the edges to form a crust. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until lightly golden.
Step 2: Make the Sausage Gravy
In a skillet, cook your breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Season generously with black pepper.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
In a separate skillet, lightly scramble the eggs just until set. They will finish cooking in the oven.
Step 4: Assemble the Pizza
Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked crust. Top with scrambled eggs and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Step 5: Bake Until Bubbly
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 8-10 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
