Ingredients

1 package of English muffins
8 eggs
1 lb breakfast sausage
8 oz mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
2 cups milk (for sawmill gravy)
¼ cup sausage drippings (add butter if insufficient drippings)
¼ cup flour (for sawmill gravy)
½ teaspoon salt (for sawmill gravy, or to taste)
¼ teaspoon pepper (for sawmill gravy, or to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Begin by cooking the breakfast sausage in a cast iron pan until well done.

Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and pour off all but ¼ cup of fat.

Step 2: To the reserved meat drippings in the skillet, add flour. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture turns golden.

Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until the gravy boils and thickens to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: While the gravy simmers, lightly toast the English muffins until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: In a separate non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs, adding a small dash of milk if desired for extra fluffiness.

Step 5: Preheat your oven’s broiler on high. Arrange the toasted English muffins on a baking sheet.

Spread a generous layer of sawmill gravy on each muffin half.

Step 6: Top each muffin with scrambled eggs, a slice of mild cheddar cheese, and the cooked breakfast sausage.

Place the assembled pizzas under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and melted, creating a perfect golden crust. Serve warm and enjoy!
