Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven and bake the buttermilk biscuits according to package instructions or your preferred recipe. Keep warm.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it browns, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
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.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt until combined.
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.
To assemble, split the warm biscuits in half. Place the bottom halves on serving plates.
Spoon a generous portion of sausage gravy over each biscuit half. Top with a scoop of scrambled eggs.
Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, zippy flavor. Optionally, drizzle a little more hot sauce for an extra kick.
Serve immediately and enjoy this kicked-up country breakfast, Emeril Lagasse style!
