Eggs Benny
Southern Fried Eggs Benny is kind of like Eggs Benedict, only with a fried egg instead of poached, sausage instead of Canadian bacon, and cream gravy instead of Hollandaise. If your mouth isn't watering by now, I'm not sure we can be friends.

I am generally in favor of any variation on the Sausage Egg McMuffin, but I think that cream gravy is a somewhat dreary affair. I would top it with hollandaise or at least whisk something colorful and flavorful into the bechamel. Maybe a couple of egg yolks, some roasted red peppers, and/or some cayenne.

What is cream gravy?

Cream gravy, at least as the term is used in that link, is basically béchamel, or white sauce. Actually, what "béchamel" means has evolved a great deal over time, but what it usually means now (and what cream gravy means) is a roux (butter cooked with flour for a few minutes) with hot milk whisked into it, brought to a boil, and simmered for a couple of minutes to thicken, then seasoned to taste. It's the basis for a lot of other sauces that are less plain and would, in my opinion, be better overtop the egg in this dish.
