- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- Fresh herbs (parsley, chives), for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Muffins: Split the English muffins in half and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet for even toasting.

- Add Eggs to Muffins: Remove the toasted muffins from the oven and top each half with the prepared eggs.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle desired toppings such as crumbled bacon, sausage, diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and shredded cheese onto each muffin half.
- Melt Cheese: Return the topped muffins to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Season and Garnish: Remove the breakfast pizzas from the oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve: Serve the English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas warm and enjoy a hearty start to your day.
Notes
- You can customize toppings based on preference or what’s on hand.
- Use low-fat cheese or omit meat for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- To speed up preparation, cook eggs while muffins toast.
- Leftover breakfast pizzas can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture.
- Adding vegetables increases fiber and nutrients.
