📝 Ingredients for English Muffin Breakfast Pizza

• 2 English muffins, split in half (4 halves total)

• 4 large eggs

• 2 tbsp milk

• Salt and pepper to taste

• ½ cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)

• ¼ cup diced bell peppers

• 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)

• 1 tbsp butter or oil for cooking

• Optional: hot sauce or salsa for serving

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Toast English muffins lightly either in a toaster or under the broiler until just golden.

3. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.

4. Heat butter/oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scramble the eggs until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.

5. Assemble pizzas:

   • Place toasted muffin halves on the baking sheet.

   • Top each with scrambled eggs, sausage/bacon, bell peppers, and shredded cheese.

6. Bake for 5–7 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Garnish with green onions and optional hot sauce.

8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

🧠 Notes

• Use pre-cooked breakfast sausage for faster prep.

• Try vegetarian options with mushrooms, spinach, or plant-based sausage.

• Add pizza sauce or tomato slices for a more “classic pizza” flavor.

• Can be made ahead and frozen (see tips).

💡 Tips

• Freezer-friendly: After assembling (before baking), wrap individually and freeze. Bake straight from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes.

• Cheese variety: Use your favorite—cheddar, Swiss, provolone, or even pepper jack for spice.

• Keto option: Use a low-carb English muffin or chaffle base.

• Batch prep: Make 8–12 at once for a brunch party or school mornings.
