Ingredients
  

For the Breakfast Pizzas:
  • 2 English muffins split in half (4 halves total)
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup crumbled breakfast sausage cooked until crispy
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano for sprinkling over the tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for frying eggs

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Small Ladle or Spoon
  • 1 Knife and Cutting Board
  • 1 Measuring Spoons
  • 1 Oven Mitts

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crispy, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
  3. Toast Muffins: Place English muffin halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Assemble Pizzas: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on each toasted muffin half and sprinkle with dried oregano. Top with shredded mozzarella and the cooked sausage, leaving space in the center for the egg.
  5. Bake: Return the muffins to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Fry the Eggs: While the pizzas are baking, heat a little more oil or butter in the skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  7. Top and Serve: Place a fried egg on each muffin pizza. Season with salt and black pepper, and serve warm.

Notes

Top Tips for the Best English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas

  1. Lightly Toast the Muffins First
    Toasting the English muffins before adding toppings prevents them from getting soggy and adds a nice crunch to each bite. Just a few minutes in the oven makes a big difference.
  2. Cook the Sausage Until Crispy
    Cook the sausage in a skillet until it’s browned and crispy. This enhances the flavor and texture, adding savory crunch to every bite of your breakfast pizza.
  3. Don’t Overload the Sauce
    A thin layer of tomato sauce is all you need. This keeps the muffin base from getting soggy and lets the cheese, sausage, and egg shine.
  4. Perfect the Egg
    For a runny yolk, fry the egg separately in a skillet and place it on top of the baked pizzas. For a firmer yolk, bake the egg directly on the pizza, adjusting the bake time as needed.
  5. Customize Your Toppings
    The classic sausage, egg, and cheese combo is delicious, but feel free to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, hot sauce, or a touch of Parmesan for extra flavor.
