Instructions
- 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. - Cook the Eggs
In a small skillet, scramble or fry the eggs until just cooked. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside. - 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. - Bake to Perfection
Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted. - 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!
Notes
- 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.
