3. Make the gravy:

   • Add the flour to the sausage drippings and whisk for 1–2 minutes.

4. Assemble the casserole:

   • Cut biscuits into quarters and spread evenly in the baking dish.

   • Sprinkle cooked sausage on top.

   • Pour the gravy evenly over everything.

   • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour over casserole.
