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
- 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.
- Prepare 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 oven for about 5-7 minutes until the edges become golden and slightly crispy for a sturdy base.
- Cook Eggs: While muffins toast, scramble or fry the eggs according to your preference, preparing them just before assembly.
- Assemble Pizzas: Remove toasted muffins from oven and top each half with the cooked eggs evenly spread out.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle your choice of cooked bacon, sausage, diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and shredded cheese over the eggs.
- Bake Pizzas: Return the assembled breakfast pizzas to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
- Season and Garnish: Remove from oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired for added freshness.
- 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.
