Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 English muffins, split in half
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
Other
- Cooking spray or oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Muffins: Place the split English muffin halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Toast them lightly in the oven for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden and crisp, which creates a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until fully cooked but still soft. Remove from heat to keep them moist and fluffy.
- Assemble the Breakfast Pizza: Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over each toasted muffin half. Top each with crumbled cooked breakfast sausage, diced bell peppers, diced onions, and shredded cheddar cheese to create a flavorful and colorful topping.
- Bake the Breakfast Pizza: Return the assembled muffins to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts completely and the muffin edges turn golden brown, enhancing texture and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve the muffin breakfast pizzas warm. Enjoy this delightful and quick breakfast that combines the convenience of muffins with a hearty breakfast topping.
Notes
- To save time, prepare the breakfast sausage ahead or use pre-cooked sausage.
- You can customize toppings by adding tomatoes, mushrooms, or spinach for extra vegetables.
- Use whole wheat English muffins for a healthier, higher-fiber option.
- For a vegetarian version, replace sausage with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based sausage.
- Ensure the eggs are not overcooked during scrambling to keep them moist on the muffin.
