Instructions

Making this Biscuits and Gravy Egg Bake is simple and straightforward. Let’s get started!

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to ensure easy cleanup.

Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned and crumbled, remove any excess fat and sprinkle in the flour. Stir to coat the sausage with the flour.

Make the Gravy: Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to create a smooth gravy. Continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens up. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes to taste. Set the gravy aside to cool slightly.

Assemble the Dish: Tear the biscuits into chunks and scatter them evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuits, spreading it out evenly. Crack the eggs directly on top of the gravy, trying to keep them whole. If you want, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top for an extra cheesy finish.

Bake to Perfection: Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are set and the dish is golden and bubbly. If you like your eggs more cooked, leave them in a bit longer!

Finishing Touches: Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the gravy to settle and make it easier to slice.

Serve and Enjoy: Dish it up, and serve warm! This Biscuits and Gravy Egg Bake is perfect on its own or with a side of fruit or a light salad for balance.
