How Do You Make Breakfast Pizza English Muffins?
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Arrange the split English muffins on the baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 3–4 minutes. This helps them stay crisp and sturdy under all those toppings.
Step 3: While the muffins toast, scramble or fry your eggs to your liking. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Step 4: Spread a spoonful of salsa or tomato sauce on each muffin half. Top with eggs, cheese, and your favorite toppings like turkey bacon, sausage, bell peppers, or spinach.
Step 5: Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or everything bagel seasoning for an extra flavor boost.
Step 6: Bake the pizzas for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7: Let cool for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Breakfast Pizza
- Toast first: Toasting the muffins before adding toppings keeps them crisp and prevents sogginess.
- Mix up the cheese: Cheddar and mozzarella are classics, but try provolone, goat cheese, or a dairy-free alternative for something new.
- Add veggies: Bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes add color, flavor, and nutrition.
- Customize the protein: Swap in cooked bacon, sausage, ham, or even smoked salmon.
- Don’t forget the seasoning: A sprinkle of Italian seasoning or fresh herbs like basil or parsley brings everything together.
