Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2.5 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 buttermilk biscuits
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven and bake the buttermilk biscuits according to package instructions or your preferred recipe. Keep warm.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it browns, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 4

Slowly add the milk while stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce. Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt until combined.

Step 6

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring constantly, until creamy and soft-set, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

To assemble, split the warm biscuits in half. Place the bottom halves on serving plates.

Step 8

Spoon a generous portion of sausage gravy over each biscuit half. Top with a scoop of scrambled eggs.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, zippy flavor. Optionally, drizzle a little more hot sauce for an extra kick.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy this kicked-up country breakfast, Emeril Lagasse style!
