How to Serve Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza is best served warm. You can cut it into squares or wedges and serve it on a big platter for family and friends to enjoy. It pairs nicely with fresh fruit or a side of hash browns. You may also want to offer hot sauce or additional gravy on the side for those who like an extra kick of flavor.

How to Store Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

To store any leftovers, let the pizza cool completely. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the pizza. Just wrap it well in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

Tips to Make Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

• Make sure to cook the sausage thoroughly and drain the grease to keep the pizza from becoming soggy.
• You can use any type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or even pepper jack for a spicier flavor.
• Feel free to add veggies like bell peppers or onions to the sausage mix for extra flavor and nutrition.
• For a quicker version, use pre-made gravy instead of mixing it from a packet.

Variation

For a lighter version, you could substitute turkey sausage for the pork sausage. You can also skip the cheese or use low-fat cheese. If you like a bit of sweetness, consider adding a drizzle of maple syrup over the top just before serving.
