English Muffin Breakfast Pizza

Yields: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 package English muffins
8 large eggs
1 lb breakfast sausage
8 oz mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
2 cups milk (for sawmill gravy)
¼ cup sausage drippings (or add butter if there aren’t enough drippings)
¼ cup all-purpose flour (for sawmill gravy)
½ teaspoon salt (for sawmill gravy, or to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper (for sawmill gravy, or to taste)

Instructions:

Cook the Sausage:

In a cast iron skillet or large pan, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside. Drain all but ¼ cup of the fat from the skillet.
Make Sawmill Gravy:

In the same skillet with the reserved fat, add the flour. Stir constantly over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until the mixture begins to turn golden brown.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy comes to a boil and thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the English Muffins:

While making the gravy, lightly toast the English muffins to your desired level of crispness.
Scramble the Eggs:

In a non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat. Add a splash of milk if you prefer creamier eggs. Cook until just set.
Assemble the Pizzas:

Preheat your oven broiler on high.
Place the toasted English muffins on a baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of sawmill gravy over each muffin half.
Top the gravy with scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and crumbled sausage.
Broil:

Broil the assembled pizzas in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and melted, about 3-5 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Serve:

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your savory English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas!
