The Recipe How-To
Now that we have gathered all the ingredients, it’s time to put them together and create a delicious sausage, English muffin, and cream gravy sandwich. This recipe is quick and easy to follow, making it the perfect breakfast or brunch option for any day of the week.
Steps for Cooking the Sandwich:
Step 1: Preparing the Breakfast Sausage
First, preheat your oven to 375°F. Next, take the breakfast sausages out of their packaging and set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until cooked through.
Step 2: Making the Cheese Eggs
While the sausage is cooking, prepare your cheese eggs. Whisk together 10 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of cold water, and season with salt and pepper. Then, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and continually stir until eggs are almost set.
Step 3: Adding Cheese and Green Onions to Eggs
Once eggs are almost set, add in shredded Monterey Jack cheese and white cheddar cheese along with thinly sliced green onions (white and green parts). Continue stirring until cheese is melted, and eggs are completely cooked.
Step 4: Preparing the Cream Gravy
Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and whisk for about one minute until lightly browned. Then slowly pour in 1 1/4 cups milk, whisking continuously until smooth. Add a pinch of salt, some pepper and few chopped fresh sage leaf. Bring mixture to boil while whisking frequently then reduce heat to low and cook for at least another minute then remove from heat.
Step 5: Assembling the Sandwich
Split English muffins in half and toast them until lightly browned. Place the cooked sausage patty on one half of the English muffin, top with scrambled eggs and then generously spoon cream gravy on top of it. Put the other half of the english muffin on top to make a sandwich.
Congratulations! You have successfully created a delicious and filling sausage, English muffin, and cream gravy sandwich that is great for breakfast, brunch or even a camping trip.
Substitutions and Variations
As with most recipes, there is some room for experimentation and substitution in this sausage, English muffin, and cream gravy sandwich recipe.
For instance, if you want to add a little heat to your sandwich, you could swap out the monterey jack cheese for a spicier pepper jack. You could even experiment with adding some hot sauce or pepper jelly to the cream gravy.
In terms of the sausage, you can try using different varieties such as maple or apple-flavored breakfast sausage. Or, if you prefer something with a little more kick, you could use spicy breakfast sausage instead.
If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, you could swap the sausage patties for some vegetarian sausages or patties. You can also omit the meat altogether and add some sliced avocado or roasted mushrooms in its place.
For those who are lactose intolerant or vegan, try substituting the cheese with non-dairy options like vegan cheddar cheese or cashew cheese.
If you’re camping or on-the-go, use biscuits instead of English muffins. This makes it more portable and doesn’t require refrigeration.
The choice is yours, and experimenting with different ingredients will allow for countless variations of this classic breakfast sandwich.

Alternatively, serve it alongside some fruit slices or marinated vegetables for a little bit of freshness.
If you’re in the mood for an even more substantial breakfast, pair with crispy bacon bits or sautéed kale which will give you an amazing burst of nutrients.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
One of the great things about this Sausage, English Muffin, and Cream Gravy Sandwich recipe is that it can be prepped ahead of time, making breakfast in the morning a breeze. Simply make the sausage patties and cream gravy ahead of time, and store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
When you’re ready to serve, simply reheat the sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until heated through. To reheat the cream gravy, gently warm it on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream if needed to thin it out.
You can also freeze the cooked sausage patties and cream gravy for later use. Simply let them cool completely before placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag and storing them in the freezer for up to two months.
When you’re ready to serve, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as instructed above.
If you have any leftover sandwiches, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, wrap the sandwich loosely in a paper towel and microwave on high for 30 seconds to one minute until heated through.

Tips for Perfect Results
Cooking a breakfast sandwich may seem straightforward, but there are a few tricks to ensure a perfect result. Here are some tips that will help you make delicious Sausage, English Muffin, and Cream Gravy Sandwiches:
The quality of the ingredients is key. Use fresh breakfast sausage patties from your local butcher or famous brands such as Jones Dairy Farm or Jimmy Dean. You can also try making your own breakfast sausage using your favorite blend of spices and ground pork.
When making the cream gravy, use unsalted butter instead of regular butter to control the amount of salt in the recipe. Be sure to whisk the flour into the butter thoroughly so that all the grains are fully coated and cook for at least 1-2 minutes to remove that raw taste of flour from the gravy. Pour cold water into the pan, whisking constantly until smooth to avoid lumps in your sauce.
Add cheese for extra flavor, Monterey jack cheese or White cheddar add a nice salty contrast; however, feel free to use your favorite type of cheese. A slice or two of thinly sliced green onions adds an oniony taste balancing well with savory sausage patties.
Toast the English muffin before assembling the sandwich rather than sinking its bottom in gravy before serving. This prevents it from getting mushy too quickly which would undermine the characteristic crispy-crumbly texture of a good breakfast sandwich.
Arrange ingredients thoughtfully – one sausage patty over each half muffin forming a bed for the poached egg oozed over each patty then topped with a ladle-full of cream gravy sprinkled with chopped green onions and cheese on top for some serious flavor bombs.
Don’t be afraid to add toppings like hot sauce, pepper jelly or even swapping out seasonings like replacing sage leaf taste with rosemary sprigs or other herbs depends on what flavor you’re craving at this moment.
Follow these tips, and you’ll have perfect Sausage, English Muffin, and Cream Gravy Sandwiches every time.
