Main Ingredients

  • 4 English muffins, split in half

  • ½ cup diced bell peppers
  • ½ cup diced onions
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives) for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or butter.
  2. Prepare English muffins: Split the English muffins in half and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Toast muffins: Toast the muffins in the oven for 5-7 minutes until the edges become golden and slightly crispy.
  4. Cook eggs: While the muffins are toasting, scramble or fry the eggs according to your preference, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  5. Assemble pizzas: Remove the toasted muffins from the oven and top each half with the cooked eggs.
  6. Add toppings: Add your choice of cooked bacon, sausage, diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over each muffin half.
  7. Bake to melt cheese: Return the topped muffins to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Season and garnish: Remove the breakfast pizzas from the oven, season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
  9. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy your hearty and customizable breakfast pizzas!

Notes

  • You can swap out cheddar cheese for mozzarella, pepper jack, or any cheese you prefer.
  • Try adding other toppings like mushrooms, spinach, or olives for more variety.
  • To make these vegetarian, omit the meat and add extra veggies.
  • Use turkey bacon or chicken sausage for a leaner protein option.
  • These pizzas reheat well in the oven or toaster oven for a quick breakfast later.
