Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 tablespoons tomato sauce

Eggs

  • 4 eggs (scrambled, fried, or poached)

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)

Vegetables

  • ½ cup chopped bell peppers
  • ½ cup spinach leaves
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms

Breakfast Meats (optional)

  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 sausage links, sliced
  • ½ cup diced ham

Herbs and Spices

  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • Fresh oregano, for garnish
  • Pinch of black pepper

Optional Toppings

  • Red pepper flakes or jalapeño slices for spice
  • Feta, gouda, or parmesan cheese blend
  • Fresh avocado slices (added after baking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather your English muffins and slice them in half if not pre-sliced. Toast lightly to create a firm and crisp base. Prepare the eggs by scrambling, frying, or poaching to your desired style. Chop vegetables and cook any meats if using.
  2. Assemble the Base: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over each toasted English muffin half, making sure to cover the surface without oversaturating to avoid sogginess.
  3. Add Cheese and Toppings: Generously sprinkle your chosen cheese over the tomato sauce. Then evenly arrange the cooked eggs, vegetables, and meats on top, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled pizzas on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and add fresh herbs like basil or oregano, fresh avocado slices if desired, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast pizza.

Notes

  • Toast First: Lightly toasting the English muffins before assembling helps prevent sogginess.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs enhance flavor and presentation.
  • Don’t Overload Toppings: Too many toppings can affect even cooking and texture.
  • Customize Cheese: Mixing different types of cheese creates richer flavor and better meltability.
  • Watch Oven Time: Bake just until cheese melts to keep the crust crisp.
