Essential Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough Typically 16 biscuits per package
- 1 lb breakfast sausage Use pork or turkey sausage as preferred
- 4 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour For thickening the gravy
- 2 cups whole milk For a creamy gravy
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ tsp salt Adjust to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper Freshly ground
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and crumbled. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and stir until the sausage is well coated.
- Slowly pour in the whole milk while stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to thicken into a creamy gravy and season with salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters and evenly spread half of them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a little extra milk and seasoning. Pour this egg mixture over the biscuit layer in the dish.
- Evenly distribute the prepared sausage gravy over the egg-coated biscuits. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, then layer the remaining biscuit pieces to form a golden, flaky crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the biscuits are golden and the eggs are set. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
