3-In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

5-Stir in green onion and remove meat and vegetables from skillet and set aside to cool. (Do not drain skillet.)
6-While meat and vegetables cool, make the gravy:
7-Add butter or oil to undrained skillet.

9-Gradually whisk milk in and cook until gravy thickens.
10-Simmer 2-3 more minutes and season with salt and pepper.
11-Cover and set aside (or put in a container to chill overnight).
12-In the prepared baking dish, crack eggs evenly across the bottom of the dish, keeping yolks intact.
13-Poke a hole in each yolk with the toothpick and pour cream over the top of the eggs. Top with 1/2 of the cheese.
14-Spoon sausage mixture over the eggs and cream in the baking dish and then top with remaining cheese.
15-Cover dish with foil and chill overnight.
16-Bake covered in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 30 minutes more.
