Country Eggs Benedict with Sausage Gravy brings together toasted English muffins, pancetta, eggs, and a sausage gravy for a hearty breakfast plate. It’s a simple build, but every layer has a place – right down to the green onion finish.

Watch How to Make It

This version from cookingwithcj skips the usual hollandaise direction and goes straight for breakfast sausage gravy. The finished stack starts with the muffin, gets a layer of crisp pancetta, then gravy, egg, and green onion.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

The sausage gravy uses breakfast sausage, all purpose flour, whole milk, all purpose seasoning, and black pepper. It goes over the pancetta and English muffin before the egg is added, making the assembly easy to follow.

Each serving is built individually, so the order stays clear from the first muffin to the final garnish. The eggs can also be cooked to the doneness you want, then seasoned simply with salt and pepper.

Ingredients You'll Need

Eggs, English muffins, and pancetta make up the Benedict portion. The English muffins are toasted, the pancetta is fried until crispy, and each assembled serving gets one egg.

For the gravy, gather 1/2 pound breakfast sausage, 1 to 2 tablespoons all purpose flour, 1 cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon all purpose seasoning, and black pepper. Salt and pepper season the eggs, while green onions are used for the final garnish.

How To Make It

This recipe has two parts: make the sausage gravy, then toast, cook, and assemble the Benedict. Keep the ingredients for the finished stacks ready so each English muffin can be built in the stated order.

Preparation

Brown the breakfast sausage. Mix the all purpose flour into the sausage and cook it for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the all purpose seasoning, then pour in the whole milk and stir until the gravy reaches the desired thickness. Add some black pepper to finish the gravy. For the Benedict

Fry the pancetta until crispy. Build each Benedict by starting with an English muffin, adding pancetta, spooning over the sausage gravy, adding one egg, and topping everything with green onion. Serve and enjoy.

Serving & Variations

Serve the Country Eggs Benedict with Sausage Gravy as soon as the stacks are built, with the green onion scattered over the top. The muffin, pancetta, gravy, egg, and garnish are all part of the creator’s intended order, so keep that layer-by-layer setup intact.

The useful move here is to spoon the gravy over the pancetta before placing the egg on top. That follows the recipe’s assembly order and keeps the green onion as the final finish instead of getting covered by the gravy.
