Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 English muffins, split in half
  • 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Toppings of choice: pepperoni slices, cooked sausage, sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, etc.
  • Optional: dried oregano, red pepper flakes
  • Olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffins (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush the cut sides of the English muffins with olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
  2. Add Sauce and Cheese (3 minutes): Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce on each muffin half. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  3. Add Toppings (3 minutes): Arrange your chosen toppings on each muffin half. You can mix and match to create different flavor combinations.
  4. Bake (10-12 minutes): Bake the muffin pizzas in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the muffins are crispy.
  5. Season and Serve (2 minutes): Optionally, sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes on top for added flavor. Serve the pizzas hot.

Notes

These pizza English muffins are all about simplicity and personalization. The key is not to overload the muffins with sauce or toppings to prevent them from getting soggy. Using a preheated oven ensures that the muffins get crispy on the edges while the cheese melts perfectly.

These mini pizzas are a great way to get creative in the kitchen and involve kids in the cooking process. They are a delightful, quick solution for pizza cravings without the need for dough preparation. Enjoy!
