Scale

- 4 English muffins, split in half
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 8 strips bacon or 1 cup sausage crumbles (cooked)
Complementary Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish and Optional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- Butter or cooking spray (for pan)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) to create the perfect toasting environment for these breakfast pizzas.
- Arrange English muffin halves on a clean baking sheet, creating a crisp base for toppings.
- Whisk eggs with milk, seasoning with salt and pepper to develop a smooth, flavorful scramble.
- Prepare a skillet with butter or cooking spray over medium heat for gentle egg cooking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan, gently stirring and folding until eggs are softly set but not dry.
- Distribute the fluffy scrambled eggs evenly across each English muffin half.
- Generously cover the eggs with a layer of shredded cheese for melty goodness.
- Crumble bacon or sausage over the cheese, adding savory protein to the breakfast pizza.
- Enhance with optional fresh toppings like diced tomatoes, chopped spinach, and green onions for added nutrition and color.
- Sprinkle red pepper flakes for an optional spicy kick.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese transforms into a golden, bubbling topping.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately while warm and inviting.
Notes
- Customize toppings by swapping meats for vegetarian options like roasted mushrooms or plant-based protein crumbles.
- Keep eggs creamy by removing them from heat slightly before fully set, as they’ll continue cooking in the oven.
- Reduce carbs by using whole wheat or low-carb English muffins for a healthier breakfast alternative.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to create quick morning meals, storing scrambled eggs and toppings separately in airtight containers for faster assembly.
