Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Base
- 2 English muffins, split in half
For the Toppings
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or cooked bacon or ham, chopped)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella/your preferred cheese)
- 2 tablespoons diced bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions (optional)
For Finishing
- Cooking spray or butter, for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Prep the Muffins: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Split the English muffins in half and arrange them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Lightly toast them in the oven for 3-5 minutes until they just start to crisp.
- Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add a little butter or spray, and scramble the eggs gently until just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Pizzas: Divide the cooked eggs evenly over each toasted muffin half. Top with cooked sausage or bacon, shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, tomatoes, and any other desired toppings.
- Bake: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the muffins are golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped chives or green onions. Serve warm and enjoy!
