Cook breakfast sausage thoroughly in a cast iron skillet until well browned. Remove sausage from pan and reserve ¼ cup of the drippings.

Add flour to the reserved drippings and cook over medium heat until golden brown. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a separate skillet, scramble the eggs with a splash of milk until just set but still moist. Remove from heat.

Place baking sheet under the preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and starting to bubble with golden spots. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce to the gravy or use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.
