Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Toppings
- 3/4 cup real bacon bits
- 1/2 cup Heinz chili sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend
Base
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the assembled pizzas.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs, 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon onion powder until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, then cut into pieces that will fit the English muffin halves.
- Prepare the English muffins: Split the 6 English muffins in half and toast them lightly until they are just golden to add a slight crunch and prevent sogginess.
- Assemble the pizzas: Spread about 1/2 cup Heinz chili sauce evenly across the toasted English muffin halves. Top each with pieces of the baked egg mixture, sprinkle with 3/4 cup of bacon bits, and then evenly distribute the 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend over the top.
- Bake the breakfast pizzas: Place the assembled muffins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
- Serve warm: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty and flavorful breakfast!
