A hearty and flavorful breakfast dish featuring flaky biscuits topped with a rich and creamy sage-infused sausage gravy.
Cook the ground sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Ensure the sausage is fully cooked and browned for the best flavor.
Sprinkle the ground sage over the cooked sausage and stir to combine.
Adding the sage at this stage allows its flavor to infuse into the sausage.
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir until the flour absorbs the grease.
If the sausage is very lean, you may need to add a small amount of butter or oil.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to create a smooth mixture.
Adding the milk slowly prevents lumps from forming in the gravy.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.
Taste the gravy before adding salt, as the sausage may already be salty.
Serve the gravy hot over freshly baked biscuits.
For a complete meal, pair with a side of scrambled eggs or fresh fruit.
