- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 12 large eggs, whisked
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2½ cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 16 refrigerator biscuits
- 2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
- parsley, for garnish
Eggs
In a skillet over medium-low heat, heat 1 tablespoon butter until just melted, swirling to coat the pan's surface. Add the whisked eggs and leave undisturbed for a few seconds to let the bottom of the eggs cook. Drag a spatula down the middle of the eggs to expose the bottom of the skillet and allow uncooked egg to run into the exposed surface. Continue in this matter until most of the eggs are cooked.
When the eggs no longer appear runny, remove from the heat. (The residual heat from the skillet will finish cooking the eggs.) Set aside.
Gravy
To the drippings in the saucepan, add 3 tablespoons butter.
When melted, add flour and whisk to combine. Cook 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Slowly whisk in milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook and stir until thickened and hot, whisking often.
Assembly
To the bottom of the 9x13-inch baking dish, add 8 biscuits, pressing them into the bottom of the dish and sealing the edges together. Top with egg and sausage mixture, gravy, cheese, and the remaining 8 biscuits. Slightly flatten the top biscuits by hand.
Melt a tablespoon of butter, and brush it over the tops of the biscuits. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and bake an additional 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Melt the final tablespoon of butter and brush over the tops of the baked biscuits.
Serve topped with parsley for garnish.
