• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F for the biscuits. Cook the sausage patties in a skillet over medium low heat, turning often, until browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Put the biscuits in the oven once it's preheated, and bake them for 15 or so minutes.
• 2. Reserve sausage grease in skillet on low heat. Stir the flour into the grease until well dispersed and there are no lumps. Slowly stir in the milk or cream, stirring until thickened and starting to boil. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to warm. This is your gravy.
• 3. Take biscuits out of oven and cover with a clean towel to keep warm. Fry eggs one at a time in another skillet in a little bacon grease. We like ours over-medium, but you can choose any type you like.
