Serves: 4 (2 halves per person)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Base:
- 4 English muffins , split in half
- 1 tablespoon butter , melted
For the Toppings:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey bacon , crumbled
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the English Muffins
- Brush the split sides of the English muffins with melted butter.
- Place the muffin halves, buttered side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and just set (about 3-5 minutes). Avoid overcooking to keep them soft and creamy.
Step 4: Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas
- Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly over each English muffin half.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the eggs.
- Top with crumbled turkey bacon, diced bell peppers, and diced onions. Sprinkle with dried oregano if desired.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes , or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve warm as a quick breakfast or brunch dish. Pair with hot sauce, salsa, or additional toppings like avocado slices for extra flavor.
Tips for Success:
- Customize toppings: Swap turkey bacon for regular bacon, sausage, ham, or even smoked salmon. Add spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes for extra veggies.
- Make it vegetarian: Skip the turkey bacon and add sautéed veggies like zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms.
- Meal prep option: Assemble the pizzas ahead of time (without baking) and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving.
- Freeze option: Freeze unbaked assembled pizzas on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the cooking time.
