What you have

• 4 large eggs
• 1 lb country sausage
• 1 cup chicken gravy

Method

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
2. Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the country sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Step 3: In a bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, and half of the cheddar cheese. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
5. Step 5: While the bake is in the oven, heat the chicken gravy in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
6. Step 6: Once the bake is ready, let it cool slightly, then slice into squares and serve drizzled with the warm chicken gravy.
