- Toppings:
4 large eggs 🥚 Packed with protein and essential nutrients.

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Toast the English Muffins 🥯
Split the English muffins in half and lightly toast them in a toaster or oven. This gives them a sturdy base for the toppings while keeping them crispy. - Prepare the Eggs 🥚
In a non-stick skillet, scramble the eggs over medium heat. Cook until just set for a fluffy texture.
✨ Pro Tip: Avoid overcooking the eggs to keep them soft and moist. - Assemble Your Pizzas 🍕
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each muffin half.
Top with scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of cheese, and your prepared vegetables (bell peppers and spinach). Add the turkey sausage crumbles for an extra protein boost.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes for added flavor. - Bake or Broil 🔥
Place the assembled muffins on a baking sheet and broil in the oven on high for 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
✨ Pro Tip: Broiling gives the cheese that perfect golden, bubbly finish. - Serve & Enjoy 🌟
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and enjoy your delicious, healthy breakfast pizza!
