Notes
The green onions are optional for the topping but add a ton of flavor. Also, if you do not like mushrooms, you can omit them from this gravy recipe.
It’s best to store leftovers separately in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Make the eggs fresh right before serving for the best flavor.
