Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package English muffins (split)
- 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 needed)
- ¼ cup flour (for sawmill gravy)
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: In a cast-iron skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove from the pan, leaving about ¼ cup of drippings (add butter if needed).
- Make the gravy: To the drippings, add flour and stir for 5-10 minutes until golden. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toast the muffins: Lightly toast the English muffin halves while the gravy simmers.
- Scramble the eggs: In a non-stick pan, scramble the eggs with a splash of milk (if desired) until fluffy.
- Assemble & broil:
- Spread gravy on each muffin half.
- Top with scrambled eggs, sausage, and a slice of cheese.
- Place under the broiler (high heat) for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
Notes
- Use fresh English muffins for the best texture.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the gravy.
- Swap sausage for bacon or ham if preferred.
- If you like a little heat, top with hot sauce or diced jalapeños before broiling.
