Biscuits

Sausage Patties

Scrambled Eggs

Hash Browns

Method

Sausage Gravy

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the country sausage until browned and crumbled.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Slowly pour in the milk while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Hash Browns

  1. 4

    Prepare Hash Browns

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hash browns, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Scrambled Eggs

  1. 5

    Scramble the Eggs

    In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Pour into a non-stick skillet over medium heat and gently stir until cooked through.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Split the buttermilk biscuits in half and place them on a plate. Top with sausage patties, pour over the sausage gravy, and serve alongside scrambled eggs and hash browns.
