What Other Toppings Can I Use?

Customizing these to suit your own taste preferences is part of the appeal. Below are some super easy and tasty ideas that can make it more unique for you and your own dietary needs or preferences.

Go basic and add just egg and cheese. You can use whatever cheese you normally would with eggs like American or cheddar. Alternately, you could dress it up just a bit with pepper jack, goat cheese, or gouda.
Add different seasonings to the eggs. A pinch of cayenne or some cumin add more flavor. Garlic powder, onion powder, or even a seasoning blend can all work great to give your eggs a different flavor.
Use different toppings such as traditional breakfast meats like bacon, sausage, or ham. Or you can even use a veggie bacon or vegan option if you prefer.
Add vegetables like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, or mushrooms just like you would a more traditional pizza. Saute the vegetables ahead of time for an easy assembly in the morning.
If you want to add some more flavor, you can add sauces too. Add things like salsa and hot sauce, chipotle sauce, or things like alfredo or hollandaise sauce. This is a place to get creative with your egg pizza. If you like it served with your scrambled eggs or omelets, you can serve it with your pizza.

Just because it is a breakfast pizza doesn't mean it has to be all about traditional breakfast flavors. However, you can turn it into a fun open-faced breakfast sandwich with these changes. Top with hollandaise sauce for a fun spin on eggs Benedict.

How to Make English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas

Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper then set it aside.

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat then swirl around the pan to coat.

Beat the egg well and season with salt and black pepper.

Pour the egg into the skillet and cook, stirring often, until it is set into soft curds. It doesn't need to be fully cooked as it will finish in the oven.

Spread marinara sauce onto each side of the English muffin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need to Toast the English Muffin Before Adding Toppings?

While you do not have to toast the English Muffin before adding the toppings, it does help. By toasting the muffin first, you are able to keep it crisp, which is a must when enjoying an English Muffin Breakfast Pizza. No one likes a soggy pizza.

Can I Make These Ahead of Time and Freeze?

These English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas are easy to freeze and save for later. After making the pizza, you want to let all of the ingredients cool completely. Once cooled, you can freeze the pizzas on a baking sheet or a plate. I like to let the food freeze first before wrapping it. It keeps everything from sticking to the wrapping, like cheese or eggs. Then once it is frozen, wrap it well with plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Can I Make These in the Air Fryer?

You can easily make these into Air Fryer English Muffin breakfast pizzas. I am including the directions in the printable recipe card below. Most of the steps are the same with just slight variations when it comes to using the Air Fryer.
