Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat English muffins, split in half
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled turkey sausage
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers (any color)

- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly toast the English muffin halves on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them stay crisp under the toppings.
- Spread pizza sauce over each toasted muffin half.
- Top with mozzarella cheese, then add crumbled turkey sausage, diced bell peppers, and sliced cherry tomatoes.
- Crack an egg into the center of each muffin half. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
- Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny.
- Garnish with fresh basil, and serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- No turkey sausage? Substitute with cooked chicken sausage or sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
- More flavor? Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or a drizzle of pesto before serving.
- Egg alternatives: Prefer scrambled eggs? Cook them separately and spoon over the muffins after baking.
