Step 1

Warm the bacon fat in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking often, until it just starts to get a little bit darker, a beige color, 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Slowly drizzle in the milk, whisking continuously to keep it smooth. Add the salt and pepper.

Step 3

Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a simmer and has thickened. If you’d like it thicker, cook and stir it for a few minutes extra so more liquid evaporates.

Step 4

Add the eggs and stir for a minute to heat them through. Serve hot.
