Ingredients

You only need a handful of simple ingredients to whip up these delicious breakfast pizzas. Feel free to mix and match based on what you have in your fridge — this recipe is super flexible!

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 English muffins, split in half (makes 4 pizzas)
4 large eggs
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese you like)
¼ cup cooked bacon bits or breakfast sausage (optional)
¼ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Butter or oil for cooking
Optional garnish: green onions, hot sauce, or fresh herbs

Instructions

Making these English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas is as easy as it gets! Just toast, top, and bake — and breakfast is served. Here’s how to bring it all together:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Toast the English muffins lightly in a toaster or oven until just golden. This helps prevent sogginess when you add the toppings.
Cook the eggs your way — scrambled works best. Heat a bit of butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs until just set, and season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the pizzas: Place toasted muffin halves on the baking sheet. Top each with scrambled eggs, then sprinkle with cheese, bacon or sausage, and veggies if using.
Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and serve: Add green onions, a dash of hot sauce, or fresh herbs for extra flavor. Serve warm!

Tips and Variations

These English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas are endlessly adaptable! Here are some tasty ideas to make them your own:

Switch up the cheese: Try mozzarella, pepper jack, Swiss, or even goat cheese for a unique twist.
Make it veggie-friendly: Skip the meat and add mushrooms, spinach, or tomatoes.
Add a sauce base: Spread a little tomato sauce, cream cheese, or pesto on the muffins before topping.
Go spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce, red pepper flakes, or jalapeños.
Kid-friendly tip: Let kids build their own with a toppings bar — fun and picky-eater approved!
Make it low-carb: Use a low-carb or whole wheat English muffin for a healthier option.
Try different eggs: Fried or poached eggs can work too — just be careful with runny yolks if baking!

Storage

Got leftovers? No problem! These breakfast pizzas reheat surprisingly well, making them a great make-ahead option for busy mornings.

To Store:
Let the pizzas cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To Reheat:

Microwave: Heat on a microwave-safe plate for about 30–45 seconds.
Oven or toaster oven: Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes for a crispier texture.

Freezing Tip:
You can freeze fully assembled (but not yet baked) pizzas. Wrap each one tightly in foil and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble them the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning for a fresh, hot breakfast.

Can I use whole eggs instead of scrambled?

Absolutely. Crack a whole egg onto each muffin half and bake a bit longer (10–12 minutes) until the white is set.

Are these freezer-friendly?

Yes! Assemble and freeze unbaked pizzas for up to 1 month. Bake straight from frozen.

Can I make them dairy-free?

Of course — just use your favorite plant-based cheese or skip the cheese entirely.

What other toppings work well?

Try sliced tomatoes, caramelized onions, sautéed spinach, or even avocado after baking.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes! Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Do I have to toast the English muffins first?

Toasting first helps keep the muffins crispy under the toppings, but you can skip it for a softer base.

Whether you’re rushing out the door or savoring a slow morning, these English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas are a total game changer.
