Ingredients
- 1 package of English muffins
- 8 eggs
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 8 oz mild cheddar cheese thinly sliced
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup sausage drippings add butter if insufficient drippings
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt for sawmill gravy, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper for sawmill gravy, or to taste
Instructions
- Start by cooking the sausage in a cast iron pan until it’s well done. Once cooked, take it out of the pan and pour off all but 1/4 cup of the fat.
- In the same skillet, add the flour to the reserved drippings. Cook and stir over medium heat for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture starts turning golden.
- Slowly add the milk to the roux, stirring constantly. Keep cooking until the gravy boils and thickens.
- While the gravy is cooking, lightly toast the English muffins until they are golden and crisp.
- Next, scramble the eggs in a non-stick skillet. If you want fluffier eggs, you can add a little splash of milk while scrambling.
- Preheat your oven broiler to high. Take a baking sheet and start assembling your pizzas. Spread the sawmill gravy on each open-faced toasted English muffin. Then, add scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and pieces of sausage on top.
- Broil the pizzas until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
