Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 English muffins, split in half
- Olive oil or butter for greasing
Eggs
- 4 eggs (scrambled or fried)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- Cooked bacon, sausage, or ham, chopped (optional, about ½ cup)
- Diced bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes (optional, about ½ cup total)
- Fresh herbs (parsley, 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.
- Prepare English muffins: Split the English muffins in half and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Toast muffins: Toast the muffins in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy, giving a nice base texture.
- Cook eggs: While the muffins are toasting, cook the eggs according to your preference—either scrambled or fried—and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Assemble pizzas: Remove toasted muffins from the oven and evenly distribute the cooked eggs on top of each half.
- Add toppings: Top each with your choice of cooked bacon, sausage, diced vegetables, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Bake again: Return the assembled breakfast pizzas to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Finish and garnish: Remove from the oven, season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor and color.
- Serve: Serve warm immediately and enjoy a flavorful and hearty breakfast treat.
Notes
- Feel free to customize toppings with any breakfast meat or veggies you prefer.
- For a vegetarian version, omit meats and add more veggies or mushrooms.
- Use gluten-free English muffins to make the recipe gluten-free.
- These pizzas can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a quick breakfast.
- Careful not to overcook the eggs to keep a tender texture.
