Ingredients
Scale
- 4 English muffins (split in half, 8 halves total)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon (or ½ cup (120 ml) cooked sausage or ham)
- ½ cup (120 ml) pizza or marinara sauce
- ¼ cup (60 ml) chopped bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Ignite the oven to 375F (190C), positioning the rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease to prevent adherence.
- Muffin Foundation: Slice English muffins in half, laying them cut-side up on the prepared tray. Optional butter brushing enhances flavor. Toast for 5 minutes until edges transform to a golden hue.
- Protein Preparation: Craft eggs using preferred technique – scrambled, sunny-side up, or fried. Season with salt and pepper, keeping warm post-cooking.
- Pizza Assembly: Lavish marinara sauce across toasted muffin surfaces. Distribute cooked eggs uniformly, then cascade shredded cheese over the landscape.
- Flavor Enhancement: Embellish with protein selections like crispy bacon, sausage, ham, or vegetable medley. Arrange toppings strategically for visual and gustatory harmony.
- Final Transformation: Return muffin pizzas to the oven, baking 8-10 minutes until cheese melts into a bubbly, molten blanket.
- Presentation Finale: Garnish with chopped parsley or green onion slivers. Serve immediately, celebrating this breakfast pizza spectacle.
Notes
- Customize Egg Preparation: Select your preferred egg style – scrambled, sunny-side up, or fried – to match personal taste and texture preferences.
- Control Cheese Melting: Watch carefully during final baking to achieve perfect cheese melt without burning, ensuring a golden bubbly surface.
- Experiment with Protein Options: Mix and match bacon, sausage, ham, or vegetarian alternatives to create personalized flavor combinations.
- Prevent Soggy Base: Toast English muffins before adding toppings to maintain a crispy foundation and prevent moisture from making the base soft.
