Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 English muffins, split in half
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or butter for greasing

Optional Toppings

  • 4 slices cooked bacon, sausage, or ham, chopped
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup diced onions
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives) for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Muffins: Split the English muffins in half and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Toast Muffins: Toast the muffins in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until the edges become golden and slightly crispy for a sturdy base.
  4. Cook Eggs: While muffins toast, scramble or fry the eggs according to your preference, preparing them just before assembly.
  5. Assemble Pizzas: Remove toasted muffins from oven and top each half with the cooked eggs evenly spread out.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle your choice of cooked bacon, sausage, diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and shredded cheese over the eggs.
  7. Bake Pizzas: Return the assembled breakfast pizzas to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
  8. Season and Garnish: Remove from oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired for added freshness.
  9. Serve: Serve the breakfast pizzas warm and enjoy a delicious, hearty morning meal.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize with your favorite breakfast meats or vegetables for variety.
  • Use any type of cheese that melts well for different flavor profiles.
  • Ensure eggs are cooked just before assembly to maintain freshness and texture.
  • These pizzas can be made ahead and reheated but are best served fresh.
