Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and bake the buttermilk biscuits according to the package instructions, or use homemade biscuits if preferred.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons of grease in the pan.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet with the sausage grease. Whisk constantly for about 1 minute until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Add the salt and black pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens. Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy and reduce heat to low to keep warm.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until fluffy and just set. Remove from heat.
To assemble each serving, split a warm biscuit in half and place it on a plate. Top with a generous serving of scrambled eggs, sausage gravy, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Optionally, garnish with sliced scallions for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
