Ingredients and Their Roles

Each ingredient in this recipe plays an important role in delivering flavor, texture, and nutrition.

• Eggs: The protein-packed base for the toppings, providing structure and fluffiness.
• Heavy Cream: Adds richness and helps create creamy scrambled eggs.
• Salt, Pepper, and Onion Powder: Enhances flavor and adds a mild savory touch.
• Bacon Bits: Provides a smoky, crispy bite that complements the eggs.
• English Muffins: A sturdy and crispy base for the pizzas.
• Chili Sauce (or Alternatives): Adds a tangy, slightly spicy layer. You can swap it for pizza sauce, salsa, BBQ sauce, or even ketchup.
• Shredded Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheese: Melts beautifully, creating a gooey, cheesy topping. You can also try Swiss, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack for variety.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add the heavy cream. Whisk until fully blended.

Step 2
Season the egg mixture with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Whisk again to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula, pushing the eggs around the pan until they are no longer runny.

Step 4
Stir in the crumbled bacon and mix well. Remove the pan from heat.

Step 5
Slice the English muffins in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of chili sauce (or your chosen alternative) on each muffin half.

Step 6
Spoon the scrambled egg and bacon mixture onto each muffin half, spreading it evenly.

Step 7
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the eggs, then add a little extra bacon on top for added crunch and flavor.

Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Beginner Tips and Notes

• How to Know When Eggs Are Cooked: Scrambled eggs should be soft but not runny. If they still look wet, continue cooking for another 30 seconds while stirring gently.
• Preventing Burnt Muffins: If your oven runs hot, consider placing the muffins on the middle rack to avoid burning the edges.
• Make-Ahead Tip: Scramble the eggs and bacon the night before and store them in the fridge. In the morning, just assemble and bake.
• Substitutions: Try using sausage crumbles instead of bacon, or replace the chili sauce with classic marinara for a more traditional pizza taste.

Serving Suggestions

These English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas pair well with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a simple side salad for a balanced breakfast. If you’re making them for brunch, serve alongside hash browns or a smoothie for an extra boost.

Storage Tips

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Freeze for up to 3 months and reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
