Instructions

Cook Sausage: In a cast iron pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned and cooked through. Once done, remove the sausage from the pan and set aside, reserving ¼ cup of the rendered fat or drippings in the pan for the gravy.
Make Sawmill Gravy: To the reserved sausage drippings, add ¼ cup flour. Cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture turns golden brown. Gradually pour in the 2 cups of milk while stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, adjusting to taste.
Toast English Muffins: While preparing the gravy, lightly toast the English muffins to give them a crisp base for the toppings.
Scramble Eggs: In a separate non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs with a dash of milk to make them fluffy. Cook over medium-low heat until just set and soft.
Assemble: Spread a generous layer of sawmill gravy onto each toasted English muffin half. Top each with scrambled eggs, a slice of mild cheddar cheese, and crumbled cooked sausage.
Broil: Place the assembled English muffin pizzas on a baking sheet and position them under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

Use a cast iron pan for best sausage cooking and gravy flavor but any skillet will work.
If you don’t have enough sausage drippings, add butter to make up the ¼ cup needed for the gravy.
Adjust salt and pepper in the gravy to suit your taste preferences.
Keep a close eye during broiling; cheese can burn quickly under high heat.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
