Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Prepare Muffins: Split the English muffins in half and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them evenly to toast properly.
Toast Muffins: Toast the English muffin halves in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until the edges become golden brown and slightly crispy, enhancing their texture.
Cook Eggs: While the muffins are toasting, prepare your eggs according to preference, either scrambling or frying them until cooked through but still moist and fluffy.
Assemble Pizzas: Remove the toasted muffins from the oven and immediately top each half with the cooked eggs, distributing evenly onto each muffin base.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle desired toppings such as crumbled bacon, sausage, diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and shredded cheese onto each muffin half atop the eggs.
Bake Again: Return the assembled breakfast pizzas to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese has melted thoroughly and bubbles lightly.
Season and Garnish: Remove the pizzas from the oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, and add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of freshness and color.
Serve: Serve the breakfast pizzas warm for a delicious, customizable morning meal that satisfies a variety of tastes and preferences.

Notes

You can customize your breakfast pizzas with any preferred toppings such as mushrooms, spinach, or different cheeses for variety.
To make the recipe vegetarian, omit meat toppings and add more vegetables or plant-based proteins.
For a crispier base, toast the English muffins slightly longer before adding toppings.
Use gluten-free English muffins to adapt the recipe for gluten sensitivities.
Leftover breakfast pizzas can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
