Why you’ll love this recipe
- Quick and convenient: Perfect for busy mornings—just grab, reheat, and go!
- Protein-packed: Turkey sausage and egg make these pizzas a satisfying and nutritious start to your day.
Ingredients and substitutions
- Olive oil – use any neutral cooking oil like avocado or grapeseed oil.
- Breakfast sausages – I use the Lilydale brand turkey sausages to lower the overall saturated fat and calories in this dish but regular breakfast sausage will work.
- Eggs – if you are watching your cholesterol, you can omit the yolks and just use egg whites.
- English muffins – for a healthier option, use whole wheat English muffins or a low-carb flatbread.
- Pizza sauce – feel free to use homemade pizza sauce or even jarred pasta sauce (they’re basically the same thing).
- Shredded cheese – use your favourite variety! Cheddar, mozzarella and provolone are all great choices.
- Diced bell peppers – I like to use a combination of red and yellow peppers but you can use any colour.
- Green onions – fresh chives would also be delicious or you can leave the onions out altogether.
How to make breakfast pizza
Step 1: Cook the sausage.
Brown the sausage and set aside.
Step 2: Prep the English muffins.
Slice the English muffins in half.
Step 3: Add toppings.
Spread pizza sauce on the muffins, then layer with cheese, peppers, and sausage.
Step 4: Bake the pizzas.
Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Cook the eggs.
Scramble the eggs, then add to the baked pizzas.
Step 6: Garnish and serve.
Top with green onions and enjoy.
Topping Ideas
This is the perfect time to use up the leftover bits and pieces in your crisper drawer. Toss on any veggies and/or meats that are begging to be used before they spoil.
- Other cooked proteins like bacon, diced chicken breast, ham, or turkey (just be sure to fully cook it first).
- Diced tomatoes
- Olives
- Pickled jalapenos or banana peppers
- Mushrooms
- Baby spinach, kale or arugula
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes! You can use bagels, naan bread, pitas or even flatbread as the base instead of English muffins.
Can I use pre-cooked sausage?
Yes, pre-cooked sausage works perfectly—just chop it up and add it directly to the pizzas.
Is it healthy to eat pizza in the morning?
It depends on the ingredients! These breakfast pizzas are a much healthier option compared to traditional pizza. They’re made with nutrient-rich toppings like eggs, turkey sausage, and veggies, providing protein and energy to start your day.
Storing, reheating and freezing
- Storing: Keep breakfast pizzas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze them (see below).
- Reheating: Use a toaster oven or microwave to warm them for a few minutes. For crispier muffins, reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
- Freezing: Wrap each cooled pizza individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a large freezer bag. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheating from frozen: Use your microwave’s defrost setting, or set the power to 40%, and heat for 3-4 minutes until warmed through. A toaster oven is another great option to maintain the texture.

This recipe calls for 6 English muffins but all the other ingredients seem less.
Wouldn’t it be 3 English muffins to make the 6 as there separated?
But then it also says on top of recipe a total of 12 servings so i’m not sure
If the full recipe is to use 6 English muffins cut in half or 3 cut in half.
Otherwise it seems like only 3 eggs would not be enough if it’s for 6 english muffins cut in half to make 12.. but I just want to be sure.
Just some clearing up would be much appreciated as I would love to make this but don’t want their to be to little or too much.

Hi Stacey – the recipe as written is correct. There are a lot of toppings so there will be more than enough to cover the English muffin halves, including the eggs.

This sounds delicious im wondering how are they after the freezer are they soggy or chewy? I want to offer this for my meal prep biz

I find they do best if you reheat in the oven for 10-15 min but you could reheat in the microwave for 2-3 min. I imagine the crusts wouldn’t be as crunchy microwaved but they would still probably taste good!!!
