Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package English muffins
- 8 eggs
- 1 pound (lb) / 454 grams breakfast sausage
- 8 ounces (oz) / 227 grams mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
Gravy Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup sausage drippings (add butter if insufficient drippings)
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Sear the sausage in a cast iron skillet until thoroughly cooked, ensuring a rich, caramelized exterior and releasing flavorful drippings.
- Transfer the sausage from the pan, retaining approximately a quarter cup of rendered fat for developing a robust gravy base.
- Introduce flour to the skillet with reserved drippings, creating a golden-brown roux by stirring continuously over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
- Slowly incorporate milk into the roux, whisking diligently to eliminate potential lumps and achieve a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Simmer the gravy until it thickens and reaches a gentle boil, developing deep, savory flavors.
- Simultaneously, lightly toast English muffins until they acquire a delicate golden hue and crisp texture.
- Whisk eggs with a subtle splash of milk, then gently scramble in a non-stick skillet until soft and pillowy.
- Preheat the oven broiler to high intensity.
- Arrange toasted muffin halves on a baking sheet, lavishing each with a generous layer of sawmill gravy.
- Layer scrambled eggs, cheese slice, and previously cooked sausage atop the gravy-covered muffins.
- Position the baking sheet under the broiler, monitoring closely to achieve perfectly melted, bubbling cheese without scorching.
- Remove when cheese transforms into a molten, appetizing golden blanket and serve immediately.
Notes
- Weekend mornings buzz with excitement when sausage-studded breakfast pizzas hit the table.
