How to Make English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas

Step 1: Cook the sausage
Brown the sausage in a cast iron skillet until fully cooked.

Remove the sausage and reserve about 1/4 cup of the drippings.

Step 2: Make the sawmill gravy
To the hot drippings, add flour and stir constantly over medium heat until golden.

Slowly add milk while stirring to create a smooth, thick gravy. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Toast the muffins
While the gravy simmers, lightly toast the English muffins until golden.

Step 4: Scramble the eggs
Whisk eggs in a bowl and scramble them in a non-stick skillet until just set and fluffy.

Step 5: Assemble the pizzas
Turn the oven broiler to high. Place toasted muffins on a baking sheet.

Spread gravy on each half, then top with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and slices of cheddar cheese.

Step 6: Broil to melt cheese
Place under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve immediately.
