English Muffin Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Introduction

This English Muffin Breakfast Pizza is a quick and delicious way to start your day with a flavorful twist. Crisp English muffins topped with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese make for a satisfying breakfast that the whole family will love.

Two halves of an English muffin sit on a white plate, each topped with scrambled eggs that are yellow and fluffy. Small chunks of brown sausage are scattered evenly on top of the eggs, covered with melted orange cheddar cheese, creating a warm and hearty look. Behind the plate, more English muffin breakfast pizzas with the same toppings rest on a black baking tray. The surface beneath everything is a white marbled texture with a colorful checkered cloth adding a pop of red, yellow, and blue near the tray. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
