Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breakfast Potatoes

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced breakfast potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Sausage Gravy

    In a saucepan, cook the country sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove the sausage and drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Add butter and melt. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Add cooked sausage back into the gravy, season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Eggs in a Hole

    Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the center of each slice of challah bread. In a non-stick skillet, melt a little butter over medium heat. Place the bread slices in the skillet and crack 2 eggs into each hole. Cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Place the cooked eggs in a hole on a plate, then generously pour the sausage gravy over the top. Serve with a side of crispy breakfast potatoes.
