🥓 Supplement sausage drippings with butter if you don’t have enough fat from the sausage – this ensures your gravy has the right consistency and flavor
🍞 Lightly toast the English muffins to prevent them from becoming soggy under the gravy and eggs – they should be golden but still soft
🥚 Add a small splash of milk to your eggs before scrambling for a fluffier texture that pairs perfectly with the creamy gravy
