This is a featured recipe from Chef Devin Alexander.

To save time in the morning, pulse the tomatoes, basil and garlic as you prepare dinner the night before you plan to enjoy this divinely decadent breakfast. Then store it in an airtight plastic container in the refrigerator overnight to save precious moments in the morning.

3 Roma tomatoes, cored and quartered
8 medium fresh basil leaves, stems removed
2 medium garlic cloves, trimmed and quartered
4 whole grain English muffins
Olive oil spray
2 slices Jennie-O Turkey Store Turkey Bacon, cut into roughly 1/4-inch squares
4 Jennie-O Lean Turkey Sausage Breakfast Links, chopped into small pieces
1-1/3 cups liquid 100% egg whites
2 cups frozen mixed bell peppers and onions
3 ounces finely shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick foil.

Pulse the tomatoes, basil and garlic in a food processor, stopping to scrape the sides, once or twice, as needed, until they’re coarsely chopped (they should be chopped as small as possible without becoming liquefied).

Place the English muffin halves, insides face-up, side by side on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them until toasted, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Mist a medium nonstick skillet with spray. Add the bacon and sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned on the outsides. Add the onion and pepper mixture and continue cooking until the sausage is no longer pink inside and all excess moisture is removed from the pan, about 4 to 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, mist a second medium, nonstick skillet with spray. Place it over medium high heat. Pour the egg into the skillet. When it is set enough that the egg won’t run, use a spatula to cut the egg into quarters. Flip each quarter and continue cooking them until set. Cut each quarter in half (you should have 8 egg “wedges”).

Divide the tomato mixture among the toasted muffins, spreading it evenly over them. Top each with one “piece” of egg. Then top that with the cheese then the meat and pepper mixture. Bake them until the cheese is melted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Makes four 2-muffin-half servings.
