Perfect Pairings
These are substantial enough to be a complete breakfast, but they’re great with some fresh fruit on the side or a simple hash brown patty. Orange juice or coffee complement the savory flavors perfectly. For weekend brunches, I’ll serve them alongside some breakfast potatoes or a simple green salad.
Creative Variations
Try different breakfast meats like ham or Canadian bacon for variety. Vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or tomatoes work great for people who want more veggies. Different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack create interesting flavor variations. For a lighter version, you can use egg whites or turkey sausage instead of the regular versions.
Storage Solutions
These are definitely best eaten fresh and hot, but you can prep the muffin bases the night before and just add eggs in the morning. Leftover assembled pizzas can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to crisp them back up, though the eggs won’t be as good. The individual components keep well separately if you want to meal prep.
