Ingredients
  

Base & Toppings
  • 4 English muffins split in half horizontally
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage casings removed if needed
  • 1/2 cup diced ham about 2.5 oz
  • 4 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
Seasonings & Finishing
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/8 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place English muffin halves cut-side up on the sheet. Brush the cut sides lightly with melted butter. Bake for 5-7 minutes until lightly toasted and crisp around the edges.
  2. While muffins toast, cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. In the same skillet (drain excess fat if desired), pour in beaten eggs. Cook over medium-low heat, gently stirring, until softly set but still slightly wet, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Remove toasted muffins from oven. Sprinkle each half with a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder. Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the 8 halves, spreading gently. Top with cooked sausage crumbles and diced ham. Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
  4. Return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and starting to turn golden in spots.
  5. Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle with chopped chives, parsley, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if using. Let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
