Flaky Biscuit Crust with Sausage Gravy, Eggs, and Cheese
Ingredients:
- For the Crust:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- For the Sausage Gravy:
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- For the Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Toppings:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Biscuit Crust:
- Press the biscuit dough onto a greased pizza pan or baking sheet, forming an even crust.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
- Make the Sausage Gravy:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
- Add the flour to the drippings, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the black pepper and return the cooked sausage to the skillet, mixing well.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the eggs and scramble until fully cooked.
- Assemble the Dish:
- Once the biscuit crust is done, spread the sausage gravy evenly over the crust.
- Top with the scrambled eggs and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake Again:
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
