English Muffin Breakfast Pizza

• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 package of English muffins

8 eggs

1 lb breakfast sausage

8 oz mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced

2 cups milk (for sawmill gravy)

¼ cup sausage drippings (add butter if insufficient drippings)

¼ cup flour (for sawmill gravy)

½ teaspoon salt (for sawmill gravy, or to taste)

¼ teaspoon pepper (for sawmill gravy, or to taste)

Directions

Cook sausage in a cast iron pan until well done. Remove from pan and pour off all but ¼ cup of fat.

To the reserved meat drippings in the skillet, add flour. Cook and stir over medium heat 5 to 10 minutes or until mixture starts to turn golden.

Slowly add milk to the roux, stirring constantly. Cook gravy until it boils and thickens.

Lightly toast English muffins while making the gravy.

Scramble eggs in a non-stick skillet, adding a small dash of milk to make them fluffier, if desired.

Turn oven broiler on high and assemble pizzas on a baking sheet. Spread sawmill gravy on the open-faced toasted English muffins, then top with scrambled eggs, a slice of cheese, and sausage.

Broil until cheese is bubbly and melted.
