Let’s Make English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas:

1. Toast the English Muffins
   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread butter on the split sides of the English muffins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy.
2. Cook the Eggs
   In a small skillet, scramble or fry the eggs until just cooked. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
3. Assemble the Pizzas
   Spread a spoonful of tomato sauce on each toasted muffin half. Top with scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage, bell peppers, and shredded cheese.
4. Bake to Perfection
   Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
5. Garnish and Serve
   Remove from the oven and top with green onions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Topping Ideas to Try:

• Veggie Lover: Mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, and avocado.
• Classic Breakfast: Bacon crumbles and diced potatoes.
• Mediterranean Style: Feta cheese, black olives, and fresh herbs.

What to Serve with Breakfast Pizzas:

• Fresh fruit salad
• Orange juice or a smoothie
• Hash browns or roasted potatoes

Tips for Success:

• Don’t Skip Pre-Toasting: It prevents soggy muffins and ensures a crispy base.
• Cook Eggs Slightly Under: They’ll finish cooking in the oven.
• Customize Freely: Make it vegetarian or gluten-free by using suitable ingredients.

Storing and Reheating:

• Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or in a toaster oven for a crispy finish.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I make these ahead of time?
  Yes! Assemble the pizzas without baking, store them in the fridge, and bake when ready.
• What’s a good dairy-free option?
  Use a dairy-free cheese alternative or skip the cheese altogether.
• Can I freeze them?
  Absolutely! Freeze after assembling (before baking), and cook directly from frozen for 12-15 minutes.
