Ingredients
Scale
English Muffin Base
- 1 package English Muffins (usually 6 muffins, split in half)
Meat
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
Egg Mixture
- 8 eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
- 1 cup cheese (shredded, such as cheddar or mozzarella; use more for extra cheesiness)
Instructions
- Prepare the English Muffins: Slice the English muffins in half horizontally and set them aside. You can toast them lightly if desired, but it’s optional.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked sausage. Stir frequently to scramble the eggs and cook until they are just set but still moist, about 4-5 minutes.
- Assemble the Pizzas: Place each English muffin half on a baking sheet or oven-safe tray. Evenly distribute the sausage and scrambled egg mixture over each muffin half.
- Add Cheese and Broil: Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top of the sausage and eggs on each muffin. Place under the oven broiler for 2-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool briefly. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty English Muffin Breakfast Pizza.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- Feel free to add chopped vegetables such as bell peppers or spinach to the egg mixture for extra nutrition.
- Use your favorite cheese blend for different flavors, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack.
- Broiling times vary by oven, so keep a close eye to prevent burning the cheese.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for larger groups.
