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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
