🍳🧀 English Muffin Breakfast Pizza Recipe
📋 Ingredients (for 4 servings):
-
2 English muffins, split (4 halves)
-
4 eggs (or 2 eggs scrambled and divided among pizzas)
-
½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
-
4 slices cooked bacon or sausage crumbles
-
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
Optional: diced bell peppers, spinach, green onions, or hot sauce
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat oven:
-
Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
2. Prepare muffins:
-
Lightly toast the English muffin halves if desired for extra crispiness.
-
Place the halves on the baking sheet.
3. Cook the eggs:
Option 1: Whole egg on top
-
Crack one egg onto each muffin half (make a slight dent in the center first).
-
Season with salt and pepper. Bake 10–12 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks still runny or cooked through.
Option 2: Scrambled topping
-
Scramble 2–3 eggs in a skillet with butter, season, then spoon over each muffin before topping with cheese.
4. Assemble the pizzas:
-
Top with cheese, bacon or sausage, and optional veggies.
-
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve:
-
Garnish with green onions, parsley, or a drizzle of hot sauce. Serve warm!
📝 Tips:
-
Make it vegetarian with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or tomatoes.
-
For meal prep: Assemble ahead, refrigerate, and bake fresh in the morning.
-
Use English muffin halves as a base for sweet versions too—like ham, egg, and pineapple, or a maple-syrup drizzle twist.
