Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 English muffins
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and dicing bell peppers and tomatoes. Shred mozzarella cheese and set aside.
- Split English muffins in half and lightly toast them until golden brown. Place toasted muffin halves on a clean baking sheet.
- Crack eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk eggs thoroughly with a fork or whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add whisked eggs and gently stir with a spatula, creating soft curds.
- When eggs are partially set but still slightly wet, add diced bell peppers and tomatoes. Continue cooking and stirring gently.
- Season scrambled eggs with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring even distribution of seasoning.
- Once eggs are fully cooked but still creamy, remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Spoon scrambled egg mixture evenly onto each toasted English muffin half.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the warm eggs, allowing cheese to slightly melt.
- Optional: Place topped muffins under broiler for 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden, melted cheese finish.
- Serve immediately while warm, garnishing with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can chop your bell peppers and tomatoes the night before. Store them in the refrigerator for a quick assembly in the morning.
- Egg Whisking: Whisk the eggs well until frothy to incorporate air, which will help make your scrambled eggs light and fluffy.
- Heat Control: Use medium-low heat when cooking the eggs to ensure they cook evenly without becoming rubbery. Patience is key for creamy scrambled eggs!
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Cheddar, feta, or even a spicy pepper jack can add a unique twist to your mini pizzas.
- Broiler Tip: If you want that perfect melted cheese finish, keep a close eye on the muffins under the broiler. It only takes a minute or two to achieve that golden perfection!
- Garnish for Flavor: Consider garnishing your mini pizzas with fresh herbs like basil or chives to add a burst of flavor and a pop of color.
- Serving Suggestions: These mini pizzas are versatile! Serve them with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
