Instructions

  • Remove the breakfast sausage from the casing and brown in a skillet over medium high heat, until browned and cooked through.

Notes

Pro tip: Crisp up some sage for a little bit of extra love
Heat up a bit of oil or butter over medium heat and add whole sage leaves and fry, flipping as needed, until crisp, 15-20 seconds depending on size. Crumble into your sausage gravy or serve whole on top.
