  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 mini pizzas (4 English muffins split in half) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 English muffins, split in half

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs, scrambled or fried

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

Meat Options (optional)

  • 4 strips cooked bacon, chopped
  • 4 cooked sausage links, sliced
  • 1/2 cup diced ham

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Your favorite herbs (e.g., parsley, basil, chives)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce, pesto, or salsa

Instructions

  1. Prepare the English Muffins: Slice your English muffins in half and lightly toast them to ensure they hold up well under the toppings and baking process.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Scramble the eggs gently with a pinch of salt and pepper, or fry them sunny-side up depending on your preference.
  3. Assemble the Pizzas: Spread a thin layer of your chosen sauce on each muffin half, then layer with the cooked eggs, cheese, vegetables, and meat if using.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the assembled muffins on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges turn golden brown.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven, add any fresh garnishes like herbs or avocado slices, and enjoy while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Use day-old English muffins for a crispier base that holds toppings better than fresh muffins.
  • Pre-cook or sauté vegetables slightly to avoid sogginess.
  • Do not overload the pizzas with toppings to keep them from becoming soggy or heavy.
  • Use shredded cheese for even melting and a perfect golden crust.
  • After baking, place pizzas on a cooling rack to prevent steam from making the base soggy.
