You need

To buy

  • 4 ounces [115 grams] breakfast sausage

From your shelf

  • 4 buttermilk flavored jumbo biscuits
  • 1/2 cup [120 ml] buttermilk

Staples

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 4 eggs

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F [200°C] and bake the 4 biscuits according to package directions until golden, about 12 minutes.
  2. While the biscuits bake, brown 4 ounces of breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5 minutes until no pink remains; pour off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the sausage and stir to coat; pour in 1/2 cup of buttermilk and stir until the gravy thickens, about 2 minutes, then season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Push the gravy to the sides of the skillet and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the center; crack 4 eggs into the pan and cook to your liking, about 3 minutes for runny yolks, spooning the gravy around them as they cook.
  5. Split the warm biscuits, place 2 halves on each plate, top with the eggs, and spoon the sausage gravy over everything.

Note Swap the sausage for crumbled bacon or skip it to stretch the biscuits further with extra eggs or cheese. Leftovers keep three days cold and reheat gently in a low oven. Serve with hot sauce or hot coffee on the side.
