🧰 Equipment Needed
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Frying pan or skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Oven or toaster oven
🛒 Ingredients
- 4 English muffins, split in half
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (or cream for richer flavor)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices bacon (or breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 green onion, chopped (optional)
- Dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes (optional)
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Toast the Muffins
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange English muffin halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly toast in the oven for 5 minutes, until just crisp around the edges.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Scramble the eggs until just set (slightly soft — they’ll finish cooking in the oven).
Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizzas
Top each toasted muffin half with a spoonful of scrambled eggs.
Sprinkle with cheese and crumbled bacon or sausage.
Add green onions or any desired toppings.
💡 Pro Tip: Try spreading a bit of tomato or hollandaise sauce under the eggs for extra flavor.
Step 4: Bake
Return to the oven and bake for 6–8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and drizzle with hot sauce or a sprinkle of herbs if desired.
Serve warm for a grab-and-go breakfast or a fun brunch plate.
