Ingredients
- 1 package English muffins, split
- 8 eggs
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 8 oz mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
- For Sawmill Gravy:
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup sausage drippings (add butter if needed to make 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Sausage: In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until well done. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of the drippings in the pan (add butter if needed to reach 1/4 cup).
2️⃣ Make the Sawmill Gravy: Over medium heat, add flour to the reserved sausage drippings, stirring continuously for 5-10 minutes until the roux turns golden. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, and cook until the gravy thickens and starts to boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3️⃣ Toast English Muffins: Lightly toast the English muffin halves while preparing the gravy.
4️⃣ Scramble Eggs: In a non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium-low heat. Add a splash of milk if desired to make them fluffier. Cook until just set and fluffy.
5️⃣ Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas: Preheat the oven broiler to high. Place the toasted English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Spread a layer of sawmill gravy on each muffin half, then add a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and some crumbled sausage.
6️⃣ Broil: Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7️⃣ Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy this savory breakfast treat!
Notes
- Make It Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce to the eggs or use spicy sausage for extra flavor.
- Vegetable Option: Top with sautéed bell peppers or green onions for added color and texture.
- Customizable Toppings: Try swapping cheddar for Swiss or adding a sprinkle of chives after broiling.
