Ingredients
Main Ingredients:

- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 8 oz mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
For the Sawmill Gravy:
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup sausage drippings (or butter as needed)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cook the Sausage:
- In a cast iron skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned.
- Remove the sausage and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of drippings. Add butter if needed to reach the required amount of drippings.
2. Make the Sawmill Gravy:
- In the same skillet, stir in the flour and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until golden.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Cook until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Toast the English Muffins:
- Toast the English muffin halves until lightly crispy. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
4. Scramble the Eggs:
- In a non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until just set.
- Add a splash of milk while whisking for extra fluffiness, if desired.
5. Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas:
- Spread a generous layer of sawmill gravy on each toasted English muffin half.
- Top with scrambled eggs, a slice of cheese, and crumbled sausage.
6. Broil to Perfection:
- Preheat the oven broiler to high.
- Place the assembled muffins on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the pizzas cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy warm as a satisfying breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- Customize Toppings: Add spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
- Prevent Sogginess: Toast muffins well and avoid overloading with gravy.
