English Muffin Breakfast Pizza Recipe
English Muffin Breakfast Pizza is a quick and customizable morning meal that combines crispy English muffins, savory toppings, and gooey melted cheese. Perfect for busy mornings or a fun brunch treat!
Ingredients
- For the Pizza Base:
- 2 English muffins split in half
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- For the Toppings:
- 4 large eggs scrambled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or any cheese of your choice
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon crumbled (or cooked sausage, ham, or veggies)
- 1 tbsp green onions chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For Garnish optional:
- Crushed red pepper flakes optional
- Fresh herbs like parsley or basil optional
- Hot sauce optional
Instructions
- Prepare the English Muffins:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Split the English muffins in half and lightly toast them in a toaster or under a broiler. This helps prevent them from getting too soggy once topped.
- Place the toasted muffin halves on a baking sheet. Drizzle or brush them lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
- Prepare the Scrambled Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until they’re just set, soft, and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas:
- Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly onto each muffin half.
- Sprinkle with cheese, followed by crumbled bacon (or other protein of your choice) and any other toppings like green onions or vegetables.
- Place the muffin halves in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Remove the pizzas from the oven, sprinkle with optional garnishes (fresh herbs, crushed red pepper flakes, or a dash of hot sauce), and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make it Veggie-Friendly: Swap the bacon for sautéed vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for a veggie-packed option.
- Customizable: Add any breakfast protein you like, from sausage links to turkey bacon or even a slice of avocado on top.
- Cheese Options: Try different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or feta for added flavor.
- Meal Prep: You can prepare the scrambled eggs and toppings ahead of time to make assembly quicker in the morning.
