Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 English muffins, split
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your preferred blend)
  • 8 slices cooked bacon or sausage links, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or onions (optional)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce or softened butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as basil or parsley) or hot sauce, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Toast English Muffins: Place split English muffins on a baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until golden.
  3. Prepare Toppings: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced bell peppers or onions (if using) until softened. Set aside.
  4. Assemble Pizzas: Spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce or butter on each toasted muffin half. Top with sautéed vegetables, chopped bacon or sausage, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  5. Add Eggs: For whole eggs, create a slight indentation in the toppings and crack an egg into each muffin half. For scrambled eggs, pre-cook them and distribute evenly over the toppings.
  6. Bake: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pre-toasting the muffins prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • If using whole eggs, gently pierce the yolk before baking to ensure even cooking.
  • Customize with your favorite toppings, such as sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or different cheese varieties.
