- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brown the sausage: Brown the breakfast sausage in an oven-safe skillet. Cook it without overcooking, since it will continue cooking in the oven.

- Add the eggs: Crack 8 eggs over the cheese and gravy. Season the eggs with salt and additional pepper to taste.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your preferred doneness.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
- If your skillet isn’t oven-safe, transfer the sausage and gravy mixture to a baking or casserole dish before adding the cheese and eggs.
- The original preparation used 15 minutes at 400°F, but baking time can vary depending on how well-done you prefer your eggs.
- The original source does not specify an exact quantity for the shredded cheese.
