Make the biscuit dough by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of cold butter, a pinch of salt, and baking powder.

Mix the ingredients together using your hands until crumbly.

Add 1/2 cup of buttermilk to the mixture and knead until just combined, leaving it lumpy.

Scramble 2-3 eggs per person and set aside.

In a separate pan, prepare sausage gravy with crumbled sausage, adding bell peppers and onions if desired.

Layer scrambled eggs in the bottom of a ramekin or pie dish.

Add the sausage gravy on top of the scrambled eggs.
