Units
Scale
- 4 English muffins, split
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (or marinara)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the English Muffins
- Brush the split English muffins with melted butter and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 3–5 minutes until slightly crispy.
Assemble the Pizzas
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each toasted English muffin half. Sprinkle a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
Add Toppings
- Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon, sausage, diced bell peppers, and red onion over the cheese. Crack a small egg on top of each muffin half.
Bake to Perfection
- Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the egg whites are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a firmer egg, bake for a few extra minutes.
- Swap bacon for turkey bacon or ham for a lighter option.
- Use different cheeses like pepper jack or gouda for extra flavor.
- Add spinach, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for a veggie-packed version.
