Ingredients

1 lb bulk pork breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground
6 large eggs, beaten
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 store-bought or homemade biscuits, split and torn
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1

Cook 1 lb bulk pork breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 6-8 minutes. Do not drain - the fat is needed for the gravy.
2

Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the flour smell is gone.
3

Gradually pour in 3 cups whole milk while stirring continuously, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Continue stirring until the gravy comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes.
4

Season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Taste and adjust. Keep warm on low heat.
5

In a separate nonstick pan, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the 6 beaten large eggs and cook low and slow, folding gently, until just set and creamy.
6

Arrange 4 split and torn store-bought or homemade biscuits in the bottom of four bowls. Spoon the sausage gravy over the biscuits, then top with scrambled eggs. Serve immediately.
