This was so easy and quick! My kids loved it, we’ll make it again for sure!
Just okay, not what I expected. Also, who puts peppers on pizza? That’s crazy!
I don’t understand how people can eat this for breakfast. Pizza is for lunch or dinner, right?!
Pizza is great anytime! This breakfast pizza sounds amazing and easy to make. I might just try it for brunch! 🍕
Not a breakfast food! Just wrong.
Yummy!!! Even my picky eater enjoyed it! I added mushrooms, and it was delish!
Not really a fan. The English muffin got kinda soggy with the sauce. Maybe toast it first?
Soggy? Really? I thought it was good. But like, maybe just use less sauce next time?
I had the same problem! Tosting it first really helps. Just be careful not to burn it.
I thought u use dough for pizza, not a english muffin? Fun idea tho.
Honestly, not sure how this is a breakfast pizza. Where’s the eggs?
YOu don’t need eggs for breakfast pizza! This is just fine. Give it a try!
True, it ain’t a proper breakfast pizza without eggs! I thought the same thing.
Way too easy!! LOL I made it in 5 mins not 10. Yum!
5 mins? Really? Did you even cook it right? It sounds too good to be true!
That’s awesome! I love how quick it is. Perfect for a busy morning!
This was soooo easy to make! I loved it and my kids gobbled it up!
Absolutely delicious! Can’t believe I never thought of this!
I know right?! It’s such a genius idea! I made it for my kids and they loved it! 🍕
Delicious? Really? I tried it and it was just okay. I think it needs more toppings.
Done this with leftover veggies and it was great, thanks!
Is this even a pizza? Just bread and cheese to me. 😒
I made this for brunch, and it was a hit! The sauce is key.
Didn’t turn out as good as I thought. The muffin got too hard. 🤷♂️
