Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 6 English muffins, split in half
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- Cook the Sausage:
- In a medium skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Cook until it’s no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. This mixture will soak into the English muffins to create a savory, eggy base for the pizzas.
- Coat the English Muffins:
- Dip each English muffin half into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Place the coated muffins onto the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
- Assemble the Breakfast Pizzas:
- Top each muffin half with a portion of the cooked sausage, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of diced red peppers. The peppers add a pop of color and freshness to the pizzas.
- Bake the Pizzas:
- Bake the English muffin pizzas in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately while they’re hot and cheesy.
Tips:
- Customization: Feel free to add other toppings like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or even a sprinkle of fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare these breakfast pizzas ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and reheat in the oven or toaster oven when ready to serve.
- Cheese Options: Swap out mozzarella for cheddar or pepper jack if you prefer a different cheese flavor.
