→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8 oz mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
02 -
8 large eggs
03 -
454 g (1 pound) breakfast sausage
04 -
1 pack English muffins
→ Sawmill Gravy
05 -
500 ml (2 cups) whole milk
06 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
07 -
60 ml (1/4 cup) sausage drippings (or butter as needed)
08 -
60 g (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
09 -
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
# Steps:
01 -
Brown the breakfast sausage in a medium-hot cast iron pan until thoroughly cooked. Remove sausage to a plate, reserving about 60 ml (1/4 cup) of the drippings.
02 -
Using the reserved drippings in the pan, whisk in the flour and cook for 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Gradually add the milk while continuously whisking, then simmer until the mixture thickens and begins to gently bubble.
03 -
While the gravy simmers, lightly toast the English muffins until they develop a golden exterior.
04 -
In a non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs until just set. For enhanced creaminess, consider adding a splash of milk before cooking.
05 -
Preheat broiler. Arrange the toasted muffin halves on a baking tray. Layer each with gravy, scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, and a slice of cheddar cheese.
06 -
Place the tray under the broiler just until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly. Serve immediately while hot.
# Notes:
01 -
For the perfect texture, ensure your gravy reaches a creamy, thick consistency before adding it to the muffins.
