Ingredients
Scale
main ingredients:
- 2 english muffins
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
- 2 slices bacon
toppings:
- 1 tbsp tomato sauce
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
optional garnish:
- 1 tbsp fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick cooking.
- Slice the English muffins in half and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, creating a crisp base for the breakfast pizza.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly across each muffin half, ensuring complete coverage without oversaturating the surface.
- Crisp the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until golden and slightly crunchy, then chop into small bite-sized pieces.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the tomato sauce, creating a melty foundation for the toppings.
- Carefully crack an egg onto each muffin half, positioning it centrally to ensure even cooking.
- Distribute the chopped bacon around the egg, allowing it to nestle between the cheese and egg.
- Season the entire surface with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks remain slightly runny.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with olive oil for a final burst of aromatic freshness.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your gourmet breakfast pizza.
Notes
- Customize eggs by cooking them to individual preferences, from sunny-side up to fully set for different texture lovers.
- Replace bacon with turkey bacon or veggie bacon alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions and create healthier versions.
- Toast English muffins lightly before adding toppings to enhance crispiness and prevent soggy base during baking.
- Add optional seasonings like red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor complexity and personalized touch.
