Ingredients

  • 5 English muffins (see note)
  • ½ pound ground pork sausage
  • 2 tablespoons minced yellow onion (about ½ small onion)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter (⅛ stick)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 slices cooked bacon crumbled
  • cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Mix the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses together and set aside.
    1½ cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1½ cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Cut the English muffins in half and toast each half. (You can toast the muffins in a toaster or bake them in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.)
    5 English muffins
  • In a medium skillet, brown the sausage and onions over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink and onions are translucent, about 7-8 minutes.
    ½ pound ground pork sausage, 2 tablespoons minced yellow onion
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and sprinkle flour over the sausage mixture and stir to combine.
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Stir in milk, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
    2 cups whole milk, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat.
    1 tablespoon salted butter
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy.
    6 large eggs
  • Cook eggs, stirring gently with a rubber spatula. When eggs are almost done, stir in bacon crumbles. Continue to cook until eggs are no longer runny.
    4 slices cooked bacon
  • Spread about 2 Tablespoons of sausage gravy onto each English muffin half. (You will have a little leftover gravy- use to spoon over pizzas for extra flavor, make extra pizzas, or spoon over biscuits or toast. You can also freeze for later use.)
  • Top with egg mixture and shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 6-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Broil on high for 3-4 minutes or until the tops begin to brown.
  • Serve warm.
