🥄 Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter or spray each muffin half, then toast until golden—about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare toppings

If using bacon, sausage, or veggies, lightly sauté them now. In a bowl, beat eggs and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Assemble pizzas

Place toasted muffin halves on a baking sheet. Spoon beaten egg evenly into each well. Top with shredded cheese and your favorite extras (meat, veggies).

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 8–12 minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is bubbly.

Step 5: Serve fresh

Let cool for a couple of minutes, then garnish with green onions or herbs and serve warm.

What if the muffins get soggy?
Lightly toasting them helps keep them crisp. Enjoy immediately for best texture.

Can I make them mini-sized?
Yes—use English muffin minis or split into quarters for bite-sized snacks.
