Biscuit Topping
Sausage Gravy
Main Ingredients
Method
Biscuit Topping
- 1
Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.

Shape and Bake Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently 5-6 times, then roll to about 1-inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Make the Gravy
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with black pepper and salt, then reduce heat to low to keep warm.

Cook the Eggs
In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes for over-easy eggs.

Blister the Tomatoes
In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they blister and burst, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Dish
To serve, place a biscuit on a plate, top with a slice of local ham, a cooked egg, and generously ladle sausage gravy over the top. Serve blistered tomatoes on the side with fresh fruit.
