# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
4 English muffins, split in half

02 -
6 large eggs
03 -
1/4 cup whole milk, plus additional splash for scrambled eggs
→ Sausage and Gravy
04 -
1/2 pound breakfast sausage, pork or turkey
05 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, optional for gravy
06 -
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

09 -
8 slices mild cheddar cheese, or preferred cheese
# Steps:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook breakfast sausage until fully browned and crumbly. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving approximately 1/4 cup of drippings in the skillet.
02 -
Add flour to sausage drippings in the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns golden, about 5 to 10 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup milk and simmer until thickened. Season gravy with salt and black pepper.
03 -
While the gravy simmers, lightly toast English muffin halves either in a toaster or under a broiler until just crisp.
04 -
In a non-stick skillet, scramble eggs with a splash of milk over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until eggs are softly set.
05 -
Preheat oven broiler on high. Arrange toasted English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Top each half with a spoonful of sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, a slice of cheese, and reserved sausage.
06 -
Broil assembled muffins until cheese is melted and bubbling, watching closely to prevent burning. Serve immediately while hot.
# Notes:
01 -
For added flavor, substitute sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack in place of mild cheddar cheese.
02 -
Reserve extra gravy for serving on the side.
