Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan sausage crumbles
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups unsweetened plant milk
- 1 tsp sage
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegan sausage crumbles. Cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking them up with a wooden spoon until they are evenly browned and crispy.
- Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage crumbles. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour and prevent any raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the unsweeted plant milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Ensure the mixture is smoothly combined.
- Add sage, salt, and pepper to the gravy. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the sauce.
- Simmer the gravy for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a creamy consistency. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more plant milk to reach desired texture.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or sage to enhance the flavor profile.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over biscuits, toast, or your preferred breakfast accompaniment.
Tips
- • For the best texture, use a high-quality vegan sausage crumble that crisps up nicely and provides rich flavor. • Whisk continuously when adding plant milk to prevent lumpy gravy - smooth is the name of the game! • Don't rush the flour cooking process; taking 1-2 minutes to cook the flour eliminates any raw flour taste. • Adjust plant milk quantity to control gravy thickness - start conservative and add more as needed. • For extra flavor depth, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or nutritional yeast to enhance the savory profile. • Serve immediately for the most luxurious, creamy consistency - gravy tends to thicken as it cools. • Experiment with different plant milks like unsweetened soy or oat milk for subtle flavor variations.
