1
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2
Prepare the Roux
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until it turns light golden brown.
3
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Season the Gravy
Add salt and black pepper to taste. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more milk until desired consistency is reached.
5
Combine Sausage
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the gravy. Let it simmer on low heat while you cook the eggs.

6
Fry the Eggs
In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.), about 3-5 minutes.

7
Plate the Dish
On a plate, serve a portion of the sausage gravy over the cooked eggs. Enjoy your hearty Rooster Slinger breakfast!
