English Muffin Breakfast Pizza (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Pizza Base
01 -
2 English muffins, split in half
02 -
15 millilitres olive oil or unsalted butter, for brushing
→ Topping
03 -
4 large eggs
04 -
60 grams shredded cheddar cheese or preferred cheese
05 -
30 grams cooked bacon, crumbled (or cooked sausage, ham, or vegetables for variation)
06 -
10 grams green onions, chopped (optional)
07 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Garnish (optional)
08 -
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
09 -
Fresh herbs such as parsley or basil, chopped (optional)
10 -
Hot sauce, to serve (optional)
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Split the English muffins and lightly toast under a broiler or in a toaster to prevent sogginess. Arrange muffin halves on a baking tray and brush each with olive oil or melted butter.
02 -
In a bowl, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook gently, stirring, until just set and fluffy—about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
03 -
Distribute scrambled eggs evenly over the toasted muffin halves. Sprinkle with cheese, add crumbled bacon or alternative protein, and top with green onions or selected vegetables.
04 -
Place the assembled muffin halves in the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.
05 -
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs, crushed red pepper flakes, or a dash of hot sauce as desired. Serve immediately while hot.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Vegetarian option: Replace bacon with sautéed vegetables such as spinach, peppers, or mushrooms.
02 -
Prep toppings and scrambled eggs ahead of time for a quick morning assembly.
03 -
Experiment with different cheeses such as mozzarella, pepper jack, or feta for varied flavours.
