Ingredients

4 English muffins, split in half
4 large eggs
1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/4 cup diced onions
1/4 cup milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking spray or oil (for greasing)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
Step 2: Arrange the English muffin halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Step 4: Stir in the cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, and onions into the egg mixture.
Step 5: Carefully spoon the egg mixture evenly onto each muffin half, filling about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
Step 6: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of each filled muffin.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a veggie-packed version, add chopped spinach or mushrooms to the egg mixture.
Substitute breakfast sausage with cooked bacon or ham for a different flavor.
Use pepper jack or mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar for a milder or spicier taste.
To make these ahead, prepare the muffin pizzas and refrigerate before baking; bake just before serving.

Storage

Store leftover breakfast pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for 30-45 seconds, but the muffin may lose some crispness.

How to Serve

The image shows four small round pizzas with thick white dough bases. Each pizza has a creamy yellow cheese layer with melted texture sitting on the dough. On top, there are small chunks of cooked brown sausage, yellow pieces of bell pepper, and finely chopped red tomatoes scattered evenly. A sprinkle of chopped green herbs and black pepper is visible, adding color and texture contrast. The pizzas rest on a dark baking tray with a slight shine, all set against a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

To save time, prepare sausage and chop veggies the night before.
Ensure eggs are not overcooked in the skillet to keep them creamy on the pizza.
