- 8 ounces (8 oz) mild cheddar cheese (thinly sliced)

Seasoning Ingredients:
(None additional to the above)
Instructions
- Sear sausage thoroughly in a cast iron pan until crispy and well-cooked, then transfer to a plate and drain excess fat, reserving ¼ cup in the skillet.
- Sprinkle flour into the meat drippings, whisking continuously over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the roux develops a golden, nutty color.
- Gradually stream milk into the roux, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and simmer until the gravy thickens and bubbles smoothly.
- Simultaneously, lightly toast English muffins until edges are crisp and golden.
- Whisk eggs in a separate non-stick skillet, incorporating a splash of milk to enhance their creamy texture and volume.
- Preheat oven broiler to high intensity and prepare a baking sheet.
- Generously spread the homemade sawmill gravy across each toasted English muffin half.
- Layer scrambled eggs evenly over the gravy, then top with a slice of cheese and crumbled sausage pieces.
- Position the assembled breakfast pizzas under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully until cheese melts and becomes bubbly and slightly browned.
Notes
- Save time by cooking sausage and making gravy simultaneously for efficient breakfast preparation.
- For lighter version, swap whole milk with low-fat milk and use turkey sausage to reduce calories.
- Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley on top for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Gluten-sensitive diners can substitute regular flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend when making gravy.
