  • For the Sawmill Gravy:
    • 2 cups milk
    • ¼ cup sausage drippings (or add butter if needed)

    • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sawmill Gravy

  1. In a cast-iron skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until well done.
  2. Remove the sausage and leave ¼ cup of the drippings in the pan (add butter if needed).
  3. To the reserved drippings, add flour and stir constantly over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture starts to turn golden.
  4. Slowly add milk while continuing to stir until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2: Toast the English Muffins

  1. While the gravy is cooking, split and lightly toast the English muffins until golden and crisp.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then pour in the eggs.
  3. Stir gently until the eggs are scrambled and slightly fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas

  1. Set the oven broiler on high.
  2. Place the toasted English muffins on a baking sheet.
  3. Spoon a generous layer of sawmill gravy on each English muffin half.
  4. Add a layer of scrambled eggs, followed by a slice of cheese, and top with the crumbled sausage.

Step 5: Broil and Serve

  1. Broil the breakfast pizzas until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  2. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cheese for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the gravy.
  • For added texture, top with diced bell peppers or caramelized onions before broiling.
