Ingredients

Scale

English Muffin Base

  • 4 English muffins, split

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk plus a splash for scrambling

Sausage Gravy

  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (turkey or beef)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, if needed for gravy)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • Milk (amount needed to whisk into gravy to desired thickness, approx 1 to 1 1/4 cups)

Cheese

  • 8 slices mild cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s fully browned and crumbly, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, reserving about 1/4 cup of the sausage drippings in the pan.
  2. Make the gravy: To the reserved sausage drippings (add 1 tablespoon butter if drippings are insufficient), sprinkle the flour and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns golden brown, about 5-10 minutes. Slowly whisk in about 1 to 1 1/4 cups of milk and continue to simmer until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Toast muffins: While the gravy is simmering, lightly toast the English muffin halves to provide a crisp base for the toppings.
  4. Scramble eggs: In a non-stick skillet, whisk together the eggs with a splash of milk and cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the eggs are fluffy and just set. Remove from heat.
  5. Assemble pizzas: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high. On a baking sheet, place the toasted English muffin halves. Top each with a spoonful of sausage gravy, some scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a portion of the reserved cooked sausage.
  6. Broil until bubbly: Place the baking sheet under the broiler. Broil for 2-4 minutes or until the cheese melts and bubbles, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve hot: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm and cheesy.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey sausage or beef sausage to suit dietary preferences.
  • For a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the sausage gravy.
  • If using gluten-free English muffins and flour, this recipe can be made gluten-free.
  • Use your favorite cheese—pepper jack or mozzarella works well for different flavor profiles.
  • To make this recipe easier for large groups, cook the sausage and scramble eggs in advance.
