1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
-
1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
-
1/4 cup diced onions (optional)

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or butter. -
Prepare the Muffins:
Split the English muffins in half and place them on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. If you like a crispy base, lightly toast them in the oven for 5 minutes before adding the toppings. -
Scramble the Eggs:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until they are cooked through but still soft and fluffy. Remove from heat and set aside. -
Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas:
Spread a layer of scrambled eggs on each English muffin half. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by crumbled bacon or sausage. Add any optional toppings like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or extra cheese. -
Bake the Pizzas:
Place the prepared muffin halves into the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the muffins are golden brown.
-
Garnish and Serve:
Once the breakfast pizzas are baked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
