Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the biscuit package instructions and bake the biscuits until golden brown.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir until the sausage is evenly coated.
- Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar. Crack the eggs into the simmering water and poach for about 4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- To assemble your dish, split the warm biscuits in half and place them open-faced on plates. Top each half with a poached egg, then generously spoon the sausage gravy over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of Southern cuisine!
Tips
- For a spicier gravy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some hot sauce to the sausage mixture.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can use turkey sausage instead of pork sausage.
- Feel free to add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the sausage for extra flavor.
