  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 8 halves (4 servings)

Ingredients

– 4 English muffins

– 1/2 cup Pizza sauce or marinara sauce

– 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese

– 4 Large eggs

– 1/2 cup Cooked sausage crumbles

– 1/4 cup Diced bell peppers

– 1/4 teaspoon Salt

– 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

– 1 pinch Dried oregano

Instructions

1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). This temperature is ideal for melting the cheese and cooking the eggs without burning the muffin edges. While the oven heats up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup incredibly easy. Take your 4 English muffins and split them horizontally to create 8 halves. Lightly toast the cut sides in a toaster or under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes. This initial toasting step is crucial because it creates a barrier that prevents the sauce from making the bread soggy during baking.

2-Second Step: Place the toasted muffin halves on your prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each half. Use the back of the spoon to spread the sauce evenly, leaving a small rim around the edges to mimic a traditional pizza crust. Be careful not to use too much sauce, as excess moisture can lead to a soggy base.

3-Third Step: Sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each muffin half. You want enough cheese to cover the sauce but not so much that it slides off when baking. Next, distribute the cooked sausage crumbles and diced bell peppers evenly among the pizzas. At this stage, you can also add any other pre-cooked meat or vegetable toppings you enjoy.

4-Fourth Step: Carefully crack one large egg into the center of each English muffin half. The goal is to keep the yolk intact if you prefer a runny yolk, or you can break the yolk slightly for a more uniform doneness. Creating a small well in the center of the toppings before cracking the egg can help keep the white from spreading too far off the edge. Season each egg with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

5-Fifth Step: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes. The eggs should be set, meaning the whites are opaque and the yolks are cooked to your liking. The cheese should be melted and slightly golden, and the edges of the English muffins should be crispy.

6-Final Step: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. If you prefer extra crispy edges or bubbly brown cheese, you can switch the oven to broil for 1 to 2 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning. Let the pizzas cool on the pan for a minute or two to allow them to set slightly. Serve warm. These are excellent on their own or paired with a side of fresh fruit or a light Caesar salad for a complete meal.
