Ingredients

Scale
  • Flatbread (store-bought or homemade naan, pita, or thick tortilla)
  • 8 ounces (225g) ground pork or turkey sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 2 tablespoons (16g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend/cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 2 cups (480ml) whole milk or 2% milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
  • 1–2 large eggs (50g each), fried sunny-side up
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh chopped parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the ground sausage. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired, keeping a little for flavor.
  2. Push the sausage to one side of the pan. Add the unsalted butter to the empty side and let it melt. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the butter and stir constantly with a whisk or spoon for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and create a golden roux.
  3. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens to a smooth, creamy gravy consistency, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Season the gravy with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Warm the flatbread in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side until soft and pliable but not crispy.
  6. In a nonstick skillet, melt a teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Crack in 1 or 2 large eggs and cook sunny-side up until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes. For firmer yolks, cover the pan briefly.
  7. Place the warm flatbread on a plate, spoon generous amounts of the creamy sausage gravy over the top, then gently lay the fried egg(s) on top. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

If gravy gets too thick, stir in a splash more milk to loosen it. Keep heat moderate when making the roux to avoid burning. For runny yolks, cook eggs sunny-side up over medium-low heat and cover briefly. Store gravy separately from flatbread to avoid sogginess. Reheat gently.
