How long do they keep?
Any leftover English muffin breakfast pizzas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for around 3 days. They can be reheated in the oven or toasted oven until warmed through.
It’s best not to reheat them in a microwave as they can get soggy this way.
Can you freeze them?
These muffins are perfect for meal prep, and freezing is the best method.
Toast your muffin halves and top them as directed. Instead of cooking them at this point, freeze them solid on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag or container. They will keep well for up to 3 months.
Cook the muffins right from frozen in a preheated oven at 375F for around 15 minutes until heated through.
How do you stop the muffins from getting soggy?
It’s key to lightly toast the muffins before adding any of the toppings. This toasted layer acts as a barrier and stops any moisture from moving down through the muffin.
As tempting as it is, don’t overload the toppings either!
Tips!

- You will have a little leftover gravy- use to spoon over pizzas for extra flavor, make extra pizzas, or spoon over biscuits or toast. You can also freeze it for later use.

This was so yummy! Made it for my hubby who’s favorite breakfast foods are pizza, biscuits & gravy & burritos. Combining the first two as breakfast in bed and I have him ready to tackle the honey_do list.
I added some paprika and Mexican blend seasoning to the eggs to give a little heat and used habanero cheddar. Next time he wants some fresh jalapenos added :)
This was perfect, thank you ❤️
I love the modifications!
