  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 English muffins, split in half and toasted

Eggs

  • 4 eggs (scrambled, fried, or soft-boiled)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred melty cheese)

Breakfast Meats (optional)

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 sausage links, cooked and sliced
  • 4 slices ham, chopped

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/4 cup onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves

Optional Extras

  • Butter or olive oil, for spreading
  • Salsa or hot sauce, to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast Your English Muffins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Split the English muffins in half and toast them lightly in a toaster or under the broiler until golden and crispy. This creates the perfect crunchy base that won’t get soggy when you add toppings.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: While the muffins toast, cook your eggs the way you like—scrambled, fried, or even soft-boiled. Season them lightly with salt and pepper to bring out natural flavors. Eggs are the star protein that keeps you feeling energized throughout the morning.
  3. Assemble the Pizzas: Spread a thin layer of butter or olive oil on each toasted muffin half, then add your cooked eggs evenly. Sprinkle a generous handful of cheese on top, followed by your choice of breakfast meats and veggies. Be creative — this is where the magic happens!
  4. Bake to Melt and Combine: Place the assembled English muffin pizzas on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with slight browning on top.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Grab your English Muffin Breakfast Pizza fresh from the oven. Add optional garnishes like fresh herbs, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a sprinkle of black pepper to elevate each bite. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use day-old English muffins for a sturdier, crunchier base.
  • Drain excess moisture from wet veggies like tomatoes or spinach to avoid soggy pizzas.
  • Layer cheese directly on the English muffins before other toppings to lock in moisture.
  • Keep toppings balanced to prevent sogginess and ease of eating.
  • Experiment with seasonings such as smoked paprika or Italian herbs for extra flavor.
