1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/4 tsp black pepper (or more to taste)
6 large eggs

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to coat. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper and remove from heat.
Pour half of the sausage gravy over the biscuit pieces in the baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them evenly over the gravy layer.
Add the remaining biscuit pieces on top, followed by the rest of the sausage gravy. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
