How to Make English Muffin Breakfast Pizza

Step 1: Prepare the English Muffins

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the English muffin halves on a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil or butter for extra crispiness.

Step 2: Cook the Eggs & Sausage

In a skillet, cook the beef sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, scramble the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook until just set.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizzas

Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce onto each English muffin half.
Sprinkle a little cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
Add the scrambled eggs and crumbled sausage.
Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
Top with more cheese for an extra gooey finish.

Step 4: Bake the Pizzas

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a balanced breakfast.
Drizzle with a little hot sauce or sriracha for a spicy kick!
Serve with a side of crispy hash browns for an ultimate breakfast feast.

Notes

Make it vegetarian – Skip the sausage and add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.
Try a different sauce – Swap marinara for pesto, salsa, or garlic butter.
Cheese options – Use pepper jack, feta, or gouda for a different flavor.
