A Silky, Satisfying Twist on Classic Sausage Gravy and Biscuits.

If you’re like me, sometimes nothing beats a hearty, comforting breakfast. When I was following a low carb diet, I found myself missing classic sausage gravy and biscuits—so I set out to make a version that would fit my new lifestyle. The result? Cheesy Sausage Gravy served over fluffy scrambled eggs. This recipe quickly became a staple in our house, and honestly, we still make it even when we’re not watching our carbs!

Why This Cheesy Sausage Gravy Works

Using cream cheese to thicken the gravy gives it a wonderfully silky texture and a rich flavor that pairs perfectly with savory breakfast sausage. The gravy clings to scrambled eggs in the most satisfying way, making every bite creamy and delicious. Plus, swapping biscuits for eggs keeps the carbs low while still serving up all that comfort food flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups low carb milk (such as Fairlife)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 6 to 8 large eggs, scrambled
• 1 tablespoon butter

Step by Step Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage until it’s cooked through and nicely crumbled.  Drain any excess fat from the pan, or remove with a paper towel.
2. Add the cream cheese to the pan and stir until it’s melted and fully incorporated with the sausage.
3. Pour in 1 ¼ cups of low carb milk, stirring well to create a smooth gravy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add up to 1 ½ cups.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for a few minutes while you cook the eggs.
5. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter and add the eggs.  Stir until the eggs are fluffy and done to your desired consistency.  Salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve the cheesy sausage gravy generously over the freshly scrambled eggs. Enjoy!
