Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Bacon and Cheese
- 3/4 cup real bacon bits
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Base
- 6 English muffins
- 1/2 cup Heinz chili sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the breakfast pizzas later.
- Beat Eggs: Crack the 8 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl, add 1/4 cup heavy cream, then whisk thoroughly until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Season Eggs: Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon onion powder to the egg mixture, then whisk again until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a lightly greased non-stick sauté pan set over medium heat. Gently stir or push the eggs around continuously as they cook to scramble evenly.
- Add Bacon: When the eggs lose their wet look but are still soft, add 1/2 cup of the bacon bits to the pan and stir well to combine with the eggs. Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
- Prepare English Muffins: Slice each English muffin in half and place them cut side up on a baking sheet.
- Spread Sauce: Spread a thin layer of Heinz chili sauce evenly on each English muffin half, covering the surface but not drenching it.
- Assemble Pizzas: Spoon the scrambled egg and bacon mixture generously over each sauced muffin half.
- Add Cheese and Bacon: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend evenly over the egg mixture, then top with the remaining 1/4 cup of bacon bits for extra savory flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and serve your English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas hot for a satisfying and flavorful meal.

- To make this vegetarian, omit bacon bits and add sautéed vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
