(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

English muffins, split and toasted
Eggs
Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred kind)
Cooked breakfast meat of choice
Tomato or pizza sauce
Salt and pepper
Optional toppings: sliced green onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Toast the English muffins until lightly crisp.
Spread a thin layer of tomato or pizza sauce on each muffin half.
Add eggs on top — either cracked directly or scrambled, depending on preference.
Sprinkle cooked breakfast meat over the eggs.
Top with shredded cheese.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add any optional veggies or toppings I like.
Bake on a sheet for 10-12 minutes until eggs are cooked and cheese is melted.
Let cool slightly before enjoying.

Servings and timing

This makes 4 breakfast pizzas (8 halves). Preparation takes about 15 minutes, and baking takes 12 minutes, so I’m ready in under 30 minutes.

Variations

I swap out the sauce for pesto or olive oil and garlic for different flavors.
Different cheeses like feta or pepper jack add variety.
Adding veggies like mushrooms or spinach makes it lighter.
I make smaller versions with English muffin bites for easy snacking.
For heat, I add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños.

storage/reheating

Leftovers go into an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. I reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8 minutes to keep the muffin crispy and cheese melty. I avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I prepare these the night before?

Yes, I assemble them without baking, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Then bake fresh in the morning.

How do I avoid runny eggs?

I scramble the eggs before adding them to the muffin if I want to avoid runny yolks.

Can I freeze these?

I freeze only the muffin bases without eggs and toppings, then thaw and assemble fresh before baking.

Are gluten-free English muffins suitable?

Yes, gluten-free options work well with this recipe.

What sides go well with these pizzas?

Fresh fruit, simple salads, or roasted potatoes complement them nicely.

Conclusion

English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas are a fast, flexible breakfast option I enjoy making any day. With endless topping possibilities and minimal effort, they bring tasty, comforting flavors to my morning routine.
