English Muffin Pizza Recipe (Breakfast Special)
English Muffin Pizza is a quick and tasty breakfast choice, topped with scrambled eggs, gooey cheese, and your favorite breakfast additions.
Ingredients
For the Base:
- 2 English muffins, split into halves
- 1 tbsp of olive oil or melted butter, for lightly toasting
For the Toppings:
- 4 eggs, gently scrambled (soft and fluffy works best)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese – or whatever cheese you love (mozzarella, pepper jack, gouda… all fair game!)
- ¼ cup of cooked bacon, crumbled — or substitute with sausage, chopped ham, or sautéed vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
- 1 tbsp chopped green onions (totally optional, but adds a nice bite)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes (Customize to your vibe):
- A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes if you like a little heat
- Add a touch of brightness with fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or chives.
- Your favorite hot sauce (because why not?)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Prepare the English Muffins
- Split the English muffins in half using a fork for a craggy texture.
- Gently toast the split muffin halves using a toaster or briefly under the broiler.
- Place the toasted halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment or lightly greased.
- Gently coat each muffin half with a bit of olive oil or melted butter to enhance flavor and help keep them from turning soggy.
- Scramble the Eggs
- Break the eggs into a bowl and lightly whisk them with a small amount of salt and pepper.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs and gently scramble them until they’re just set—soft, fluffy, and still moist (about 2–3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Muffin Pizzas
- Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly onto each English muffin half.
- Top with shredded cheese.
- Add cooked, crumbled bacon on top, or use your favorite protein alternative instead.
- Add optional toppings such as chopped green onions, fresh spinach, or other diced vegetables.
- Bake
- Transfer the baking tray to the oven once it has fully preheated.
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and starts to bubble.
- Garnish and Serve
- Remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, or a few drops of hot sauce, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
