Instructions

Prepare the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a large 9 x 13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut the biscuits into 4 pieces each and place all pieces in an even layer in the baking dish. Set aside.
Cook the mushrooms: Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add oil.
Once the oil is heated, add the mushrooms and 1⁄2 teaspoon (4 grams) of salt and saute for 5 minutes until softened. When the mushrooms have cooked down, add the fennel seeds, brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika, garlic powder, and dried sage and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Make the gravy: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and melt completely.
Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes, whisking occasionally.
Slowly pour in a little of the milk at a time while whisking until it is fully combined.
Remove the gravy mixture from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon (4 grams) of salt and the black pepper. Set the gravy aside.
Put it all together: Layer the mushrooms over the biscuit pieces.
Sprinkle the vegan cheese over the mushrooms.
Pour the vegan egg over the contents of the baking dish.
Pour the gravy mixture over the vegan egg batter.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 - 40 minutes. Store leftovers in a food safe container in the fridge or freezer. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
