Introduction

This English Muffin Breakfast Pizza is a delicious and fun way to start your day. Crispy English muffins topped with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese make for a satisfying morning meal that’s easy to prepare.

Two English muffin breakfast pizzas sit on a white plate with a white marbled surface under it. Each English muffin is split in half and toasted lightly, forming the base layer. On top, there is a layer of scrambled eggs that are soft and light yellow. Scattered on the eggs are small, browned pieces of sausage, adding a textured look. Melted cheddar cheese with a bright orange color covers the eggs and sausage, blending well with the other layers.

Tips & Variations

Try adding diced vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
Substitute breakfast sausage with cooked bacon or ham if you prefer.
Use your favorite cheese blend, such as mozzarella and cheddar, for a different taste.

Storage

Store any leftover breakfast pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. For best texture, reheating in the oven is recommended.

How to Serve

The image shows two English muffin breakfast pizzas on a white plate, placed on a white marbled surface with a colorful cloth nearby. Each muffin is split into two layers: the base is a slightly toasted English muffin with a light beige color and a bread-like texture. On top, there is a layer of scrambled eggs that are soft and fluffy, yellow in color, mixed with small browned sausage pieces scattered evenly. Melted cheddar cheese, orange and gooey, covers the eggs and sausage, creating a rich and warm look. In the background, more breakfast pizzas are visible on a baking tray, showing the same layers and colors. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Method: Stovetop
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale

English Muffin Base

1 package English Muffins (usually 6 muffins, split in half)

Sausage & Egg Topping

1/2 pound breakfast sausage
8 eggs
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite), or more for extra cheesiness

Instructions

Prepare the English Muffins: Split the English muffins in half and toast them lightly until golden brown. This provides a sturdy and crispy base for the toppings.
Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
Make the Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs with melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the same skillet over medium-low heat, gently stirring to make soft scrambled eggs. Remove from heat once cooked but still moist.
Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas: Spread a portion of cooked sausage onto each toasted English muffin half. Add a layer of scrambled eggs on top of the sausage. Then, sprinkle cheese evenly over each muffin half.
Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled English muffin pizzas on a baking sheet and put them under a broiler or in a preheated oven set to high (around 425°F / 220°C) for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Serve: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm for a satisfying breakfast pizza experience.

Notes

You can substitute breakfast sausage with cooked bacon or ham if preferred.
Feel free to add veggies like diced bell peppers or onions to the scrambled eggs for extra flavor and nutrition.
Using different cheese varieties such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a blend can customize the taste.
To make it healthier, use turkey sausage and reduced-fat cheese.
Leftover assembled pizzas can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or toaster oven for a quick breakfast later.
