Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Butter
- 2 units English muffins
- 4 tablespoons Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 units Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 4 units Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and place a rack about 6 inches from the heating element.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the eggs gently, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
Split the English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up. Lightly toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each English muffin half.
Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the 4 muffin halves and spread them out in an even layer.
Top each muffin with shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 pepperoni slices, and a sprinkle of dried oregano.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the Pizza Egg Melts from the broiler and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves (if using) and serve immediately.
