Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven or broiler to 375–400°F (190–200°C). Split English muffins in half and place cut-side up on a baking sheet. Toast for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook breakfast sausage until browned (5–7 minutes). Drain excess fat. In the same skillet, pour in whisked eggs and scramble gently, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. To make the gravy, add 2 tablespoons of flour to the skillet with the sausage drippings, stirring to create a roux for 1 minute. Whisk in 1 cup of milk and let it simmer and thicken for 3–5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the gravy on each toasted muffin half, top with scrambled eggs and sausage, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over everything.
  5. Return the assembled pizzas to the oven or broiler for 5–8 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or cracked black pepper. Enjoy!

Notes

Toast English muffins to prevent sogginess. Whisk milk gradually into roux for a smooth gravy. Watch the broiler closely to avoid burning cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
