Kickstart your morning with this Healthy Muffin Breakfast Pizza! Topped with savory sausage, creamy gravy, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese on a crispy English muffin, it’s the perfect blend of flavor and nutrition to fuel your day.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 package English muffins, split
  • 8 large eggs
  • 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:

  1. In a cast iron skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned.
  2. 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:

  1. In the same skillet, stir in the flour and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until golden.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
  3. Cook until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Toast the English Muffins:

  1. Toast the English muffin halves until lightly crispy. Arrange them on a baking sheet.

4. Scramble the Eggs:

  1. In a non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat until just set.
  2. Add a splash of milk while whisking for extra fluffiness, if desired.

5. Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas:

  1. Spread a generous layer of sawmill gravy on each toasted English muffin half.
  2. Top with scrambled eggs, a slice of cheese, and crumbled sausage.

6. Broil to Perfection:

  1. Preheat the oven broiler to high.
  2. 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:

  1. Let the pizzas cool slightly before serving.
  2. 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.
  • Reheat: Warm leftovers in the oven to maintain texture.
