Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for even cooking.
- Divide the English muffins into halves and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

- Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauced muffins, ensuring complete coverage.
- Strategically add crumbled sausage or bacon, diced bell peppers, and sliced black olives across the cheese layer.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts completely and becomes golden and bubbly.
- Simultaneously, prepare eggs in a non-stick skillet using your preferred cooking method – scrambled, sunny-side up, or over-easy.
- Remove muffin pizzas from the oven and carefully top each with a freshly cooked egg.
- Enhance the flavor profile by sprinkling dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper over the assembled breakfast pizzas.
- Serve immediately while warm, allowing guests to enjoy the harmonious blend of crispy muffin, melted cheese, and perfectly cooked egg.
Notes
- Customize toppings by swapping proteins like ham, turkey bacon, or vegetarian sausage for dietary preferences.
- Opt for low-fat cheese or dairy-free alternatives to reduce calories and accommodate lactose-intolerant individuals.
- Pre-cook vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to enhance flavor and ensure even heating during baking.
- Try different herb combinations such as thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning for unique taste profiles.
