English Muffin Breakfast Pizza

Savory pizza featuring eggs, sausage, creamy gravy, and cheddar atop toasted English muffins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 English muffins, split
  • 6 large eggs
  • 30 milliliters whole milk, plus extra for scrambling eggs
  • 225 grams breakfast sausage, pork or turkey
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, optional if needed for roux
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste
  • 8 slices mild cheddar cheese or preferred cheese

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook breakfast sausage until thoroughly browned and crumbly. Transfer sausage to a plate and set aside. Reserve approximately 60 milliliters of sausage drippings.
  2. Add flour to reserved drippings in skillet. Cook on medium, stirring constantly, until mixture turns golden, about 5–10 minutes. Gradually whisk in 30 milliliters milk; simmer until thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. While gravy simmers, place English muffin halves onto a baking sheet and toast lightly, either in a toaster or under a broiler.
  4. Beat eggs with a small splash of milk. In a non-stick skillet, scramble over medium-low heat until just set but still tender.
  5. Preheat broiler to high. Arrange toasted muffin halves on a baking sheet. Top each half with a generous spoonful of gravy, followed by scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and cooked sausage crumbles.
  6. Broil assembled muffins until cheese melts and bubbles, watching closely to prevent burning. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

If sausage provides insufficient drippings for the gravy, supplement with unsalted butter to reach desired consistency.
