Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 English muffins, split in half
- Olive oil or butter for greasing
Eggs
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, sausage, or ham (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes (optional)
- Fresh herbs (parsley, chives) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prepare for toasting the muffins.
- Prepare English Muffins: Split the English muffins in half and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet for even toasting.
- Toast Muffins: Place the muffins in the oven and toast them for about 5-7 minutes until the edges are golden and slightly crispy, creating a crunchy base.
- Cook Eggs: While the muffins toast, scramble or fry the eggs according to your preference, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Assemble Pizzas: Remove the toasted muffins from the oven and top each half with the cooked eggs to form the main topping layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle your choice of cooked bacon, sausage, diced vegetables, and shredded cheese evenly over each muffin half to customize your breakfast pizzas.
- Bake Pizzas: Return the assembled pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven, season with extra salt and pepper if desired, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- You can customize toppings to suit your taste or dietary preferences, including vegetarian options.
- If you prefer, cook the eggs directly on the muffins by cracking them on top before adding cheese and baking, adjusting cook time accordingly.
- Use a toaster oven for smaller batches to save energy and time.
- Fresh herbs add a bright touch, but are optional based on availability.
