Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Roll Crust
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Sausage Gravy
- 0.5 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or sheet pan. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the baking dish, making sure to seal the seams well. Bake the crust for 8 minutes or until it’s lightly golden.
- Cook Sausage: While the crust is baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Do not drain the grease, as it will be used to make the gravy.
- Make Sausage Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well. Cook for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the whole milk, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens, which will take about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with black pepper to taste.
- Assemble Pizza: Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked crescent roll crust. Then sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the sausage gravy layer.
- Bake Pizza: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Let it cool slightly before slicing into 12 squares. Serve warm for a satisfying breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute breakfast sausage with spicy Italian sausage for a different flavor.
- Use low-fat milk or a milk alternative to reduce calories if preferred.
- To make it extra cheesy, add more cheese or try different cheese blends.
- Ensure to seal the crescent roll seams tightly to prevent gravy from leaking during baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
