🛒 Ingredients

For the Pizzas:

  • 1 package English muffins (8 halves)
  • 8 eggs, scrambled
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 8 oz mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced

For the Sawmill Gravy:

  • 2 cups milk
  • ¼ cup sausage drippings (or use butter to make up the difference)
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ tsp salt, or to taste
  • ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste

👨‍🍳 Directions

1️⃣ Cook the Sausage:

In a cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully browned and crispy. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

2️⃣ Make the Gravy:

Pour off excess fat, leaving about ¼ cup of drippings in the pan.
Add the flour to the drippings and whisk continuously for 5–10 minutes, until the roux turns golden.
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Simmer until the gravy thickens, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

3️⃣ Toast & Scramble:

While the gravy simmers, lightly toast the English muffin halves and scramble the eggs in a non-stick skillet. Add a splash of milk for extra fluffiness, if desired.

4️⃣ Assemble the Pizzas:

Turn the oven broiler to high.
On a large baking sheet, arrange the toasted English muffin halves.
Top each half with a spoonful of warm gravy, followed by scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a portion of cooked sausage.

5️⃣ Broil & Serve:

Place under the broiler for 2–4 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
Serve warm with fresh fruit, orange juice, or coffee for a picture-perfect breakfast!


Tips & Variations

  • Make it vegetarian: Skip the sausage and use sautéed mushrooms or veggie sausage.
  • Try different cheeses: Sharp white cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella all melt beautifully.
  • Add veggies: Sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or onions can be layered in with the eggs.
  • Make ahead: Prep everything in advance and assemble just before broiling.
  • Freezer-friendly: Freeze fully assembled (but not broiled) pizzas. Thaw and broil when ready to eat!
