Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 English muffins, split in half
- Olive oil or butter for greasing
Eggs
- 4 eggs, scrambled or fried to preference
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 4 slices cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (optional)
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- ¼ cup diced onions (optional)
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil or butter. This ensures the muffins won’t stick during toasting.
- Prepare English Muffins: Split the English muffins in half and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. This orientation helps the edges toast evenly and get crispy.
- Toast Muffins: Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the English muffins for approximately 5 to 7 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and develop a slight crispness.
- Cook Eggs: While the muffins are in the oven, scramble or fry your eggs to your liking. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Top Muffins with Eggs: Once toasted, remove the muffins from the oven and carefully top each half with the cooked eggs, distributing them evenly.
- Add Toppings: Add your chosen breakfast toppings such as cooked bacon, sausage, diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each muffin half.
- Bake to Melt Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and is bubbly.
- Season and Garnish: Remove the breakfast pizzas from the oven, season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra freshness and color.
- Serve: Serve the English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas warm and enjoy a hearty, flavorful start to your day.
