Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, add 1 pound of breakfast sausage and cook until browned, stirring occasionally.

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook until fragrant.

Add 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes and stir to combine.

Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of fresh sage, mixing well.

Drizzle in 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup and season with a pinch of black pepper.

Create divots in the mixture and crack 5-7 eggs into the divots, being careful not to break the yolks.

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes for runny yolks, or 23 minutes for fully set eggs.
