🧰 Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or foil
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Spoon or spatula
• Oven or toaster oven

🛒 Ingredients

For 4 Breakfast Pizzas (Serves 2–4):

• 2 English muffins, split in half
• 4 large eggs (optional for scrambled topping)
• ¼ cup milk or cream
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup pizza sauce or marinara (or hollandaise for a breakfast twist)
• 4 slices cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
• 2 Tbsp diced bell peppers (optional)
• 2 Tbsp diced onions (optional)
• Salt & pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Preheat & Prep

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Split English muffins in half and place cut-side up.

2. Toast the Muffins

• Brush lightly with olive oil or butter.
• Toast in the oven for 3–5 minutes, just until slightly crisp — this prevents sogginess later.

3. Prepare the Eggs (Optional)

• In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
• Scramble in a pan until just set. Remove from heat.

4. Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas

• Spread 1 tablespoon of sauce on each muffin half.
• Add scrambled eggs or cooked protein (like bacon or sausage).
• Top with diced veggies and sprinkle with cheese.

5. Bake Until Melty & Golden

• Return to oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve & Enjoy

❓ 10 FAQs

1. Can I use bagels instead of English muffins?
   Yes! Bagels make a thicker, chewier base — just adjust the toasting time.
2. Can I make these ahead of time?
   Definitely — assemble and refrigerate, then bake in the morning.
3. Can I use store-bought pizza sauce?
   Absolutely, or try marinara, hollandaise, or even pesto for variety.
4. Can I make them in an air fryer?
   Yes — air fry at 375°F for 5–6 minutes until cheese melts perfectly.
5. Can I add eggs on top instead of scrambled inside?
   Yes, crack a small egg on each and bake until whites are set.
6. Can I make these vegetarian?
   Of course! Skip the meat and pile on veggies or plant-based sausage.
7. How can I make them spicier?
   Add hot sauce, jalapeños, or crushed red pepper flakes.
8. Can kids help make these?
   Yes — they’re fun and safe for kids to assemble before baking.
9. Can I add breakfast gravy instead of sauce?
   That’s genius! Sausage gravy makes a delicious southern twist.
10. Can I serve them cold?
    They’re best warm, but chilled leftovers still taste great as a grab-and-go breakfast.
