Ingredients

Scale

Base and Toppings:

1 package of English muffins (split in halves)

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 8 oz mild cheddar cheese (thinly sliced or shredded)

For the Sawmill Gravy:

  • 2 cups milk
  • ¼ cup sausage drippings (add butter if needed to reach this amount)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage:
    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet, leaving ¼ cup drippings behind. Add butter if needed to make up the quantity.
  2. Prepare the Sawmill Gravy:
    Add the flour to the reserved drippings in the skillet. Stir continuously over medium heat for 5–10 minutes until the roux turns golden brown. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly. Heat the mixture until it reaches a boil, then continue cooking until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Toast the English Muffins:
    Lightly toast the English muffin halves while preparing the other components to ensure they’re crispy.
  4. Scramble the Eggs:
    In a non-stick skillet, whisk the eggs with a dash of milk for added fluffiness. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until fully scrambled. Avoid overcooking for soft, tender eggs.
  5. Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas:
    Preheat your oven broiler to high.

Arrange the toasted English muffin halves evenly on a baking sheet. Spread a layer of sawmill gravy on each muffin half, followed by scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and crumbled sausage.

  • Broil and Serve:
    Broil the assembled pizzas for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bubbles. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast creation!

 

Notes

  • Toast Thoroughly: Ensure muffins are golden for a sturdy base.
  • Customize Toppings: Add veggies, proteins, or spices to suit your taste.
  • Reheat Properly: Use an oven to maintain crispness.
