Ingredients
– 1 package English muffins
– 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
– 8 eggs
– 4 tablespoons butter, melted
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup cheese (cheddar recommended) or more if preferred
Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas is straightforward and fun, especially when you follow these steps one at a time. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure everything cooks evenly. This simple recipe turns ordinary ingredients into a delicious meal that the whole family can enjoy.
2-Gathering and Prepping Your Ingredients: First, cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling it as it cooks, then drain on paper towels and set aside. Next, season the eggs with salt and pepper, then scramble them in the same skillet until set in the middle and remove from heat. Melt the butter and mix it with the garlic powder to create a tasty brush for the muffins.
3-Gathering and Prepping Your Ingredients: Split the English muffins in half and place them on a sheet pan or cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. This setup helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier. Line baking trays with foil or parchment paper to avoid cheese sticking and simplify washing up later.
4-Assembling Your Pizzas: Brush the melted butter and garlic powder mixture over the muffin halves for extra flavor. Sprinkle cheese on each muffin half, then add the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage, and top with more cheese. This step lets you customize each pizza, perhaps by considering adding vegetables like sweet peppers and onions for variation.
5-Assembling Your Pizzas: If youβre planning ahead, wrap the topped muffins tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months without baking. Freezing the uncooked pizzas allows for quick meals, so you can bake straight from frozen when needed.
6-Baking and Serving: Place the muffins in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the muffins are toasted and the cheese is melted. For a crunchier texture, you can toast the English muffins before assembling, which adds a nice bite. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to seven days and reheat in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds before eating. These are convenient for on-the-go meals, and you can even package them as gifts with instructions.
