Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Muffin Breakfast Pizza
  1. Preheat your oven to 375–400°F (190–200°C) and toast the sliced English muffins on a baking sheet for about 2–3 minutes until golden.
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes until browned and crumbly, then drain excess fat.
  3. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper, then scramble them in the skillet until just set, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Make a roux with remaining sausage drippings and flour, then gradually whisk in milk until the gravy thickens, seasoning to taste.
  5. Assemble pizzas by spreading gravy on toasted muffins, adding scrambled eggs and sausage, and topping with cheese.
  6. Bake the assembled pizzas in the oven for about 5–8 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving, garnishing with fresh herbs or green onions if desired.
