- 2 slices bacon
- 1/4 cup ham (diced)
toppings and seasoning:
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Split the English muffins and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread an even layer of pizza sauce across each muffin half, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, creating a rich base.
- Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp, then crumble into small pieces.
- Dice the ham into small, uniform cubes.
- In a separate skillet, heat olive oil and carefully crack eggs, cooking sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Distribute crumbled bacon and diced ham evenly across the cheese-covered muffins.
- Gently place a cooked egg on top of each muffin pizza.
- Season with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Sprinkle fresh chives over the top for a burst of color and herbal freshness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving to allow toppings to set.
Notes
- Customize toppings by swapping meats with vegetarian alternatives like plant-based bacon or roasted vegetables for a meat-free version.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to streamline morning cooking and reduce overall breakfast preparation stress.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar or gouda to create unique flavor profiles and keep the dish exciting.
