Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat English muffins
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 1 cup Low-sodium marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (part-skim)
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Split the whole wheat English muffins into halves and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly toast the English muffins in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, then remove them and set aside.
While the muffins toast, heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and finely chop the fresh basil leaves. Set them aside for topping.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs with salt and black pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet (no need to clean it after wilting the spinach) and scramble the eggs until just set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of marinara sauce onto each English muffin half.
Top each muffin half with an even layer of scrambled eggs, then divide wilted spinach and halved cherry tomatoes among the muffins.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each pizza.
Place the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the breakfast pizzas from the oven and garnish them with chopped basil leaves.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthful breakfast pizzas!
