Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 English muffins, split in half (8 halves total)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon (or ½ cup cooked sausage or ham)
Sauce and Vegetables:
- ½ cup pizza or marinara sauce
- ¼ cup chopped bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms
Seasonings and Optional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary workspace by heating the oven to 375F (190C). Cover a baking tray with parchment paper or apply a light cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully separate the English muffins and position them on the prepared baking surface. Optional: gently brush with butter for enhanced flavor. Crisp in the oven for approximately 5 minutes until edges turn golden and surface becomes lightly toasted.
- Craft the egg component by selecting your preferred cooking method – scrambled, sunny-side up, or fried. Season with salt and pepper to elevate the taste profile. Keep warm after preparation.
- Transform the toasted muffin halves into mini pizzas by applying a delicate layer of marinara or pizza sauce across the surface. Distribute the cooked eggs evenly, then generously sprinkle shredded cheese.
- Enhance the creation with additional protein selections like crispy bacon, savory sausage, diced ham, or colorful vegetable medley. Strategically arrange toppings for balanced flavor and visual appeal.
- Return the assembled muffin pizzas to the oven, allowing them to bake for 8-10 minutes. Monitor until the cheese melts completely and develops a tantalizing bubbly texture.
- Complete the culinary artwork by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley or thinly sliced green onions. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this delightful breakfast fusion.
Notes
- Boost toasting time if you prefer crispier English muffin bases for a sturdier pizza foundation.
- Consider using whole wheat or gluten-free English muffins to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences.
- Experiment with alternative protein sources like turkey bacon, plant-based sausage, or tofu scramble for vegetarian and health-conscious variations.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to streamline morning cooking and create a quick, stress-free breakfast option that feels gourmet yet simple.
