Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 English muffins, split in half
- 2 large eggs
- 4 slices cooked bacon or sausage links, crumbled
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
Seasonings and Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings:

Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F (190°C) and arrange split English muffin halves on a baking sheet with cut sides facing upward.
- Warm olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat, then gently crack eggs into the pan and cook to preferred doneness.
- Simultaneously slide the English muffin halves into the oven, allowing them to toast until they develop a light golden hue, approximately 5 minutes.
- Enhance the toasted muffins by generously sprinkling shredded cheese across each surface, then dust with garlic powder, salt, and pepper for additional flavor complexity.
- Delicately transfer the perfectly cooked eggs onto the cheese-covered muffin bases, creating a rich and savory foundation.
- Embellish the egg-topped muffins with crumbled bacon or sausage, and incorporate any desired complementary ingredients to personalize the dish.
- Return the assembled breakfast pizzas to the oven for 3-5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt into a luxurious, bubbling layer.
- Extract the golden, aromatic breakfast pizzas from the oven and serve immediately, pairing with fresh fruit or crispy hashbrowns for a complete morning meal.
Notes
- Customize egg doneness based on personal preference, from runny yolks to fully cooked, ensuring each bite matches individual taste.
- Experiment with cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack to elevate flavor profiles and add exciting taste dimensions.
- Use gluten-free English muffins for those with wheat sensitivities, maintaining the recipe’s core deliciousness while accommodating dietary restrictions.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline morning cooking, reducing stress and making breakfast assembly quick and effortless.
