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
1/4 cup sausage drippings (or butter if drippings are insufficient) for sawmill gravy
1/4 cup flour for sawmill gravy
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste for sawmill gravy
1/4 teaspoon pepper or to taste for sawmill gravy
Instructions
1- Getting this English Muffin Breakfast Pizza just right is all about following a few straightforward steps, starting with cooking the breakfast sausage in a cast iron pan until it’s fully done. Once the sausage is ready, remove it and reserve 1/4 cup of the fat in the pan to kick off the sawmill gravy. This method ensures a rich, flavorful base for your pizza.
2- Next, add the flour to the fat and cook it over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until it turns golden, which helps eliminate any raw flour taste. Gradually stir in the milk, keeping the mixture moving until it boils and thickens, then season with salt and pepper to taste. While the gravy simmers, lightly toast the English muffin halves in a toaster for that perfect crispy texture.
3- In a separate non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs, adding a small amount of milk for extra fluffiness if you like. Preheat your oven broiler on high, then assemble the pizzas on a baking sheet by spreading the sawmill gravy on the toasted English muffin halves, followed by the scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and the cooked sausage. Broil briefly until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly, creating a warm, gooey finish.
4- Since this section is expanding with these steps, let’s dive deeper into assembly. Start by ensuring your English muffin halves are evenly toasted to avoid sogginess, then layer on the gravy for moisture without overwhelming the base. Top with eggs and sausage for even distribution, and remember, broiling only takes a minute or two to get that perfect melt.
