Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Toppings
- ½ cup cooked breakfast sausage or crumbled bacon
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup chopped bell pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the breakfast pizzas.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Cook the Scrambled Eggs: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Pizzas: Arrange the toasted English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over each muffin half. Add the cooked sausage or bacon and bell peppers if using. Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve the breakfast pizzas warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can prepare these ahead of time and refrigerate them before baking to save time in the morning.
- Try substituting the sausage or bacon with ham, mushrooms, or spinach to vary the flavor.
- Using whole wheat English muffins adds fiber for a more nutritious breakfast.
