Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, split in half
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of your choice)
- 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 1/4 cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You can also use a toaster oven for convenience.
- Prepare the English Muffins:
- Split the English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up. Toast the muffin halves in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until golden and lightly crispy.
- Cook the Eggs:
- While the muffins are toasting, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or add olive oil.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, one at a time. Cook to your desired doneness (sunny side up, scrambled, or over-easy).
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired. You can also add cooked breakfast sausage or bacon to the skillet to warm through.
- Assemble the Pizzas:
- Once the English muffins are toasted, remove them from the oven.
- Top each muffin half with a little shredded cheese. If you’re adding vegetables (like bell peppers or mushrooms), layer those on top of the cheese.
- Place one cooked egg on top of each muffin half.
- Bake the Breakfast Pizzas:
- Return the muffins to the oven for another 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the egg is cooked to your liking.
- Serve and Garnish:
- Remove the English muffin pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a moment.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to customize these breakfast pizzas with your favorite toppings such as ham, spinach, or tomatoes.
- You can use pre-cooked sausage or bacon for a quicker option, or add other breakfast vegetables like onions or spinach.
- If you like a crispy crust, you can broil the muffins for 1-2 minutes after baking.
