Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ cup real bacon bits (divided)
Assembly
- 6 English muffins, split in half
- ½ cup Heinz chili sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the breakfast pizzas.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: Crack the 8 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add ¼ cup of heavy cream to the eggs and whisk them together until fully combined. Add ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder to the bowl, then whisk well again to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a lightly greased non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Gently push the eggs around as they cook to scramble them evenly.
- Add Bacon Bits: When the eggs are no longer wet but still moist, add ½ cup of the bacon bits to the pan. Stir them together thoroughly to combine the bacon with the eggs. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare English Muffins: Slice the English muffins in half and place them cut side up on a baking sheet.
- Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread a thin layer of Heinz chili sauce evenly over each English muffin half. Spoon the bacon and egg mixture generously onto each muffin.
- Add Cheese and Remaining Bacon: Sprinkle 1½ cups of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend evenly on top of the egg mixture. Then, sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup bacon bits over the cheese for extra flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet with assembled English muffin pizzas into the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy your tasty English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas!
