Description
This easy English muffin breakfast pizza is loaded with creamy sausage gravy, fluffy eggs, melted cheddar, and crispy sausage for a hearty Southern-inspired breakfast favorite.
Ingredients
4 English muffins, split
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (plus a splash for eggs)
1/2 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
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)
8 slices mild cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
Instructions
Cook the Sausage:
In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Remove sausage and set aside, reserving about 1/4 cup drippings.
Make the Gravy:
To the drippings, add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown (about 5–10 minutes). Slowly whisk in milk, then simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the Muffins:
While the gravy simmers, lightly toast the split English muffin halves until golden.
Scramble the Eggs:
In a non-stick skillet, whisk eggs with a splash of milk and cook over medium heat until just set and fluffy.
Assemble the Pizzas:
Preheat your broiler on high. On a baking sheet, arrange toasted muffin halves. Top each with a spoonful of gravy, a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar, and some cooked sausage.
Broil to Finish:
Place under the broiler until the cheese melts and bubbles (watch closely to avoid burning).
Serve:
Remove from the oven and serve hot for a comforting, flavor-packed breakfast!
Notes
Substitute sausage with sautéed mushrooms or veggie patties for a vegetarian option.
Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes for extra heat.
Drizzle with maple syrup for a sweet and savory twist.
Make-ahead tip: The gravy can be prepared up to a day in advance and reheated with a splash of milk.
