Ingredients

Breakfast Pizza Base

4 English muffins, split in half
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

Toppings

4 large eggs
½ cup cooked bacon, chopped
¾ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins

Sliced green onions
Bell peppers
Mushrooms
Spinach
Hot sauce or chili flakes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place English muffin halves cut-side up on the baking sheet.
Lightly brush each muffin with olive oil or melted butter.
Sprinkle a small amount of cheese over each muffin to create a base layer.
Add chopped bacon evenly across the muffins.
Crack one egg into a small bowl, then gently pour it onto a muffin half (repeat for each).
Sprinkle remaining cheese over the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on desired egg doneness.
Remove from oven when egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to preference.
Garnish with optional toppings and serve immediately.

Why English Muffins Are the Perfect Base

English muffins are naturally sturdy, lightly crisp, and full of nooks and crannies that catch melted cheese and egg whites beautifully. Toasting them first ensures they stay crisp even under juicy toppings. Unlike flatbread or dough-based pizzas, they bake quickly and don’t overpower the toppings.

Eggs baked directly on top act as both sauce and protein, while bacon adds crunch and savory depth. Cheese ties everything together, creating that unmistakable breakfast-pizza comfort.
