Ingredients

Base

  • English Muffins – split and toasted

Eggs

  • Eggs – cooked scrambled or fried as preferred

Cheese

  • Shredded Cheese (Mozzarella or Cheddar) – about 1/4 cup per muffin half

Sauce

  • Tomato Sauce – light spread on each muffin half

Fresh Vegetables

  • Bell Peppers – diced, about 2 tablespoons per muffin
  • Spinach – fresh leaves, roughly chopped
  • Tomatoes – diced or cherry tomatoes sliced

Meats (Optional)

  • Cooked Bacon or Sausage – crumbled or sliced

Herbs and Spices

  • Oregano, Basil, or Red Pepper Flakes – to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the Muffins: Slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown to create a crispy base that holds toppings well.
  2. Prepare Your Eggs: Cook eggs to your preference—scrambled for fluffiness or fried with runny yolk for richness—and set aside.
  3. Spread the Sauce: Lightly spread tomato sauce or your favorite pizza sauce evenly over each toasted English muffin half.
  4. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the sauce, then layer on the cooked eggs, fresh vegetables, and optional cooked meats or vegetarian toppings.
  5. Bake until Melty: Place the assembled muffins on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, optionally add fresh herbs like basil or parsley, and serve warm to enjoy a flavorful breakfast pizza experience.

Notes

  • Use day-old English muffins for better toasting and less sogginess.
  • Pre-cook all vegetables and meats to avoid excess moisture and sogginess.
  • Do not overload with toppings to maintain balance and crispiness.
  • Try combining mozzarella and cheddar cheese for richer, melty texture.
  • Bake on a preheated pizza stone if available for crispier bottoms.
