In the same greased skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Let this cook for about 2 minutes. Then, slowly whisk in the salt, pepper, thyme, and milk. (Don’t pour it in all at once) Keep this on medium high heat until thickened into a gravy.

Pour the gravy on top of the casserole and bake it in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Check if the biscuits and eggs are cooked, if not, continue to bake it, checking every 5 minutes to see if it’s fully cooked. Serve and enjoy!
