This Southern-inspired breakfast pizza transforms ordinary English muffins into a hearty morning feast that will keep you fueled all day. The combination of creamy sawmill gravy, fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and melted cheese creates the perfect balance of comfort and indulgence on a toasted English muffin base.
I first made these breakfast pizzas when hosting my in-laws for a holiday weekend. The look on my father-in-law's face when I served these instead of plain scrambled eggs told me everything. Now they're requested at every family gathering.
Ingredients
Step-by-Step Instructions
My grandmother always insisted on making her own breakfast sausage with sage from her garden which takes these breakfast pizzas to another level. When I make these now I still remember her standing at the stove teaching me how to properly make gravy without lumps a skill that took me years to master.
