Description

A savory, Southern-inspired breakfast pizza layered with crispy sausage, fluffy eggs, creamy sawmill gravy, and gooey cheddar cheese atop toasted English muffins.

6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (plus splash for eggs)
1/2 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)

Instructions

In a skillet, cook the sausage until fully browned and crumbly. Remove and set aside, reserving about 1/4 cup of sausage drippings.
To the drippings, add flour and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden (5–10 minutes). Slowly whisk in milk and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
While gravy simmers, lightly toast the English muffin halves.
Scramble eggs in a non-stick skillet with a splash of milk. Cook until just set.
Preheat broiler on high. On a baking sheet, arrange muffin halves and top each with a spoonful of gravy, scrambled eggs, a cheese slice, and sausage.
Broil until cheese melts and bubbles—watch closely to avoid burning. Serve hot.

Notes

Substitute sausage with sautéed mushrooms or veggie patties for a vegetarian version.
Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for heat.
Maple syrup over sausage offers a sweet-savory contrast.
Make the gravy a day ahead and reheat with a splash of milk.
