Ingredients
English Muffin Pizzas
- 2 English muffins, split in half (4 halves total)
- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup crumbled breakfast sausage (cooked until crispy)
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano (for sprinkling over the tomato sauce)
Eggs
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for frying eggs)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for toasting and baking the English muffin pizzas.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crispy, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Toast Muffins: Arrange the English muffin halves cut side up on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 3-4 minutes until lightly crisped.
- Assemble Pizzas: Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over each toasted muffin half, sprinkle with dried oregano, then evenly top with shredded mozzarella cheese and the cooked sausage, leaving a space in the center for the egg.
- Bake: Return the assembled muffins to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Fry the Eggs: While the muffins bake, heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggs until the whites are fully set but yolks remain runny.
- Top and Serve: Place a fried egg on each baked muffin pizza. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
- Make sure the muffin halves are toasted before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
- You can cook the eggs to your preference, either runny or fully cooked yolks.
- Use low-fat cheese or turkey sausage for a lighter version.
