Biscuits and gravy is a classic comfort breakfast that is rich, creamy, and satisfying. Warm biscuits are split open and covered with homemade sausage gravy, then served with fried eggs for a hearty meal that feels perfect for a slow morning or weekend brunch.
This recipe is simple, filling, and made with basic ingredients. The creamy gravy, savory sausage, soft biscuits, and runny egg yolks come together in one delicious plate.
Ingredients
Breakfast sausage
All-purpose flour
Milk
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Warm biscuits
Eggs
Butter or oil, for frying the eggs
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Sprinkle a little flour over the cooked sausage.
Stir well so the flour coats the sausage and absorbs the fat in the pan.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly.
Continue cooking until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy.
Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
In another pan, heat a little butter or oil over medium heat.
Crack in the eggs and fry until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft.
Split the warm biscuits in half.
Spoon the hot sausage gravy generously over the biscuits.
Serve with the fried eggs on the side while everything is still warm.
Serving Suggestions
This biscuits and gravy plate is delicious on its own, but you can make it even heartier by adding crispy bacon, hash browns, fried potatoes, or fresh fruit on the side.
For a Southern-style breakfast, serve it with extra black pepper on top and a cup of hot coffee.
Tips for the Best Sausage Gravy
Use flavorful breakfast sausage for the best taste.
Add the milk slowly and stir constantly to avoid lumps.
For thicker gravy, cook it a little longer.
For thinner gravy, add a splash more milk.
Black pepper is important in this recipe, so do not be afraid to season generously.
Serve the gravy immediately while it is hot and creamy.
