Ingredients
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
Instructions:
- Cook sausage: In a cast iron pan, cook breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Remove from pan and set aside, reserving ¼ cup of the rendered fat.
- Make sawmill gravy: Add flour to the sausage drippings and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly until golden. Slowly add milk, stirring until gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toast English muffins: Lightly toast the English muffins while preparing the gravy.
- Scramble eggs: In a non-stick skillet, scramble eggs, adding a dash of milk for fluffiness.
- Assemble: Spread sawmill gravy on each toasted English muffin, top with scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and crumbled sausage.
- Broil: Place pizzas under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the oven or microwave, ensuring the cheese melts and the pizza heats through.
- Variations: Substitute sausage for plant-based options or sautéed veggies for a vegetarian version. For a spicier twist, add hot sauce or chili flakes to the gravy.
