Ingredients
Base
- 6 whole English muffins, split in half (white or whole-wheat)
- Cream cheese, softened (approximately 6 tablespoons)
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- Sausage links, chopped (about 6 links or 1 cup)
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Toast English Muffins: Begin by toasting the split English muffins, either in a toaster or under a broiler, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. This will provide a sturdy base for your breakfast pizza.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Base: Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese evenly on each toasted English muffin half. This creamy layer adds richness and helps bind the toppings.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped sausage links until fully browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste. Pour into a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set and fluffy.
- Assemble Pizzas: Spoon a portion of the scrambled eggs over each cream cheese–coated English muffin half. Top with cooked sausage pieces and then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Broil to Melt Cheese: Place the assembled mini pizzas on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese is melted and bubbling. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your quick and tasty breakfast pizzas warm.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- For additional veggies, consider adding diced bell peppers or onions to the sausage while cooking.
- Use whole-wheat English muffins for added fiber.
- Make sure to watch the pizzas closely under the broiler to avoid burning the cheese.
- These mini pizzas are great for meal prepping and can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
