Day 2: Pepper Jack Scrambled Eggs & Biscuits and Gravy

Okay, so this meal isn’t outside my comfort zone, but it did take me until last year to consider trying Biscuits and Gravy. Now I like it A LOT, but only when I make it at home (or the bf makes it for me). I have yet to try it anywhere that was as tasty.

I am putting these two recipes up because they have yet to disappoint, which seems like a valid reason to post them for safekeeping. I’m not sure why but I think these two go together wonderfully and I wouldn’t eat either alone (could just be a weird personal preference), because of this I will explain how to make both simultaneously, which is what the bf and I did yesterday morning.

Let’s get started!

Pepper Jack Scrambled Eggs

You will need:

Eggs (I made 4 for the two of us, and we both had leftovers)

Pepper Jack cheese (however much is your preference, I’m not a HUGE cheese person so I used just enough to give the Pepper Jack Flavor)

Salt

Pepper

Milk (I used a splash so don’t have an exact measurement)

Biscuits & Gravy

You will need:

Biscuits (I like the Pillsbury original biscuits. We always buy the mini ones, because it makes us feel less wasteful when there are leftovers, I’m not sure why that is)

Sausage (The Jimmy Dean Original has never disappointed us)

Flour

Milk

1. Preheat the oven for your biscuits. I like lining the pan with parchment paper so there’s one less dish to wash at the end of this meal.

2. In a small bowl (or a large one, depending on how many eggs you’re making) add eggs, salt, pepper, and milk. Like I mentioned before, I didn’t measure the milk but this looked like a decent amount. Mix the egg bowl’s contents together and add to a preheated skillet.

3. Cook sausage in a separate skillet until there’s no more visible pink in the meat.

4. When the scrambled eggs are partially cooked add the pepper jack on top and continue cooking until the eggs are done. (The picture below shows how the eggs should look when you add the cheese)

5. When the sausage is completely cooked reduce the heat and add flour and milk. This part is all about eyeballing it so no measurements were done. We did three additions of flour and milk to get the consistency we prefer.

6. Once the eggs and the gravy are cooked to the consistency you desire they are done! Don’t forget about your biscuits in the oven (I may have forgotten to set a timer so mine got a little browner than I would have preferred, but they were still fine.)

7. Plate and Enjoy!
