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!
