Ingredients and substitutions
- Olive oil – Any healthy, neutral flavor of cooking oil can be used. Avocado and grapeseed are good choices.
- 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 – I usually buy it, but feel free to use homemade pizza sauce, or even jarred pasta sauce will work (they are basically the same thing)
- Shredded cheese – Use your favorite variety! Cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone are all great choices.
- Diced bell peppers – I like to use a combination of red and yellow peppers. It brings some extra color to the breakfast pizzas. Feel free to use just one colour, however.
- Green onions (scallions) – If you don't care for scallions, fresh chives would be delicious, or you can leave the onions out altogether.
More 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.
You can use anything you like for a protein, just be sure to fully cook it first.
- Other cooked protein ideas: bacon, diced chicken breast, ham, turkey, etc. This would be a great time to use up any leftovers in the fridge
- Diced tomatoes
- Olives
- Pickled jalapenos or banana peppers
- Mushrooms
- Baby spinach, kale or arugula
Storing and reheating
If you plan to use them within 3-4 days, you can store your pizzas in an airtight container in your refrigerator. If you want to keep them for longer, you should freeze them (see freezing directions below).
Reheating is a snap! If you have a microwave or toaster oven, just a few minutes of cook time should be enough to heat them through. Using the toaster oven will keep the English muffins from becoming too soggy.
Or, place the pizzas onto a baking sheet and reheat them in a 350 F. oven for 10 minutes or so.
Freezing the Pizzas
To freeze, wrap each one individually in plastic wrap, then store the wrapped pizzas together in a large Ziploc freezer bag. Just be sure that the breakfast pizzas are cool before you wrap them. Otherwise, the plastic might melt onto your food.
Reheating the pizzas from frozen
Using the defrost setting on your microwave to reheat the pizzas helps to prevent them from becoming soggy. If your microwave doesn't have a defrost setting, just reduce the power to 40 percent.
Defrost them in the microwave for approximately 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are heated through.

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!!!
