These breakfast pizzas saved my mornings when I was trying to get three kids fed and out the door on time while they all wanted something different for breakfast. I remembered making English muffin pizzas as a kid and thought, why not add eggs and make them breakfast-worthy? The crispy English muffin base holds everything perfectly while the melted cheese, savory meat, and runny egg create this amazing combination that feels like a real breakfast but comes together in about 20 minutes. Each bite gives you pizza flavors mixed with classic breakfast ingredients that somehow work perfectly together.
Why You’ll Love These
Ready in 20 minutes – Perfect for busy school mornings when everyone needs breakfast fast
Customizable for everyone – Each person can top their own exactly how they like it
Uses simple ingredients – Everything you need is probably already in your kitchen
My youngest daughter, who usually just wants cereal every morning, gets excited when I make these and actually sits down to eat a real breakfast. My husband started requesting them on weekend mornings because they taste like “fancy breakfast” but don’t require any complicated cooking. Even my mother-in-law was impressed when she stayed with us and saw how quickly they came together.
What You Need
English muffins – The regular kind works perfectly as the base and gets nice and crispy in the oven
Pizza sauce – Just a little bit on each half to give it that pizza flavor without making them soggy
Mozzarella cheese – Gets all melty and bubbly just like on regular pizza
Breakfast meat – Cooked sausage or bacon adds that essential breakfast protein
Fresh eggs – The star ingredient that makes these actually feel like breakfast instead of just mini pizzas

Step-by-Step Instructions
Oven Setup
Heat your oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper so nothing sticks. This temperature is perfect for melting the cheese without burning the English muffins.
Base Preparation
Split your English muffins in half and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Toast them lightly if you want extra crispiness, but it’s not necessary since they’ll crisp up in the oven.
Pizza Assembly
Spread pizza sauce evenly over each muffin half – don’t use too much or they’ll get soggy. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your crumbled cooked sausage or bacon, diced bell peppers, and black olives. The toppings are totally customizable based on what your family likes.
First Baking
Bake the topped muffins for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. You want it to look like the cheese on a fresh pizza – golden and irresistible.
