Sausage and Egg Breakfast Pizzas
Crispy English muffin pizzas loaded with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melty cheese, ready in minutes for a satisfying breakfast or brunch that everyone will love.
There is something so comforting about a breakfast pizza that brings the cozy feeling of a Sunday morning diner without all the fuss, and this sausage and egg version delivers that savory aroma the moment it hits the oven.
I love making these on busy weekday mornings or relaxed weekend brunches because they are easy to customize, quick to eat on the go, and make it simple to feed a hungry crew at the same time.
Every time I pull a golden English muffin from the toaster, slathered with rich tomato, spicy sausage, and a silky egg on top, it reminds me of lazy breakfast memories and makes my morning feel just a little more special.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat and prep the English muffins
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush or spray with olive oil. Place the split English muffin halves on the sheet cut side up so they can toast evenly.
Warm the sausage in a skillet
In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, crumble the ground breakfast sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat, then season with black pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt.
Toast the muffin bases
Toast the muffin halves in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and slightly crisp around the edges, which helps prevent sogginess from the sauce.
Add sauce and sausage
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce over each muffin half, leaving a small border. Sprinkle a tablespoon of mozzarella and a tablespoon of Parmesan over the sauce, then divide the cooked sausage evenly among the halves.
Crack and bake again
Crack one egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it onto each pizza half over the sausage. Sprinkle a little extra mozzarella on top, return the sheet to the oven, and bake for 3 to 5 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.
Finish with final cheese and toppings
Remove the baking sheet, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over each egg, and slide back into the oven for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add fresh aromatics
Take the breakfast pizzas out of the oven and garnish with sliced green onions. If you like, add a little butter to the skillet and sauté diced bell peppers or red onion for extra flavor and color.
Serve with your favorite sides
Let the pizzas cool for a minute or two, then serve with ketchup, hot sauce, or a simple green salad. For a lighter option, top with fresh spinach or arugula after baking for extra texture.
Customize and store leftovers
Encourage everyone to personalize their breakfast pizza with avocado slices, hot sauce, or extra veggies. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the toaster or microwave for a quick morning meal.
Enjoy immediately for the best texture
These breakfast pizzas are best enjoyed right away while the muffin is crisp, the egg is creamy, and the cheese is gooey, making every bite a satisfying start to the day.
