# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Cook breakfast sausage in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Remove sausage and drain all fat except 60 milliliters in the pan.
02 -
Add flour to the reserved fat in the skillet and cook, stirring frequently over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture turns golden, eliminating the raw flour flavor.
03 -
Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue cooking until gravy thickens and reaches a boil.
04 -
Lightly toast English muffins in a toaster while preparing the gravy.
05 -
In a non-stick skillet, scramble eggs over medium heat. Optionally add a small splash of milk to enhance fluffiness.
06 -
Preheat oven broiler to high. On a baking sheet, place open-faced toasted English muffins. Spoon sausage gravy on each, top with scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, and browned sausage pieces.
07 -
Place the assembled muffins under the broiler and cook until cheese is bubbly and melted, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Adjust salt and pepper seasonings to your preference.
02 -
Different varieties of cheese can be substituted to alter flavor.
03 -
Use turkey sausage as a leaner alternative for a healthier option.
