Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 each English muffin, split in half
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • to taste salt and pepper
Optional Toppings
  • cooked Halal sausage
  • sliced tomatoes
  • spinach
  • bell peppers

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it nice and hot while you prepare the rest.
  2. Split the English muffin in half and place the halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each muffin half, making sure to get it right to the edges for full flavor.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on each muffin half.
  5. In a separate bowl, crack the egg and season it with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Carefully crack the egg onto the cheese of each muffin half. Be gentle to avoid overflow.
Baking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the egg is set to your preference.
  2. If you’re using any optional toppings, feel free to add them just before the last few minutes of baking for a fresh taste.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve while warm.

Notes

Try using a whole-grain muffin for added nutrition or vegan cheese for a plant-based version. To ensure a perfect egg, cover the muffins with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking to steam the egg slightly without overcooking it. Keep a watchful eye to avoid burning the muffins.
