Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Total: 25 minutes
Servings: 8 pizzas
Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat English muffins split
- ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ cup prepared pizza sauce tomato, pesto, or alfredo; whichever your family likes! (We use tomato)
- Tiny Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese, provolone, or any cheese you like
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Toppings of choice such as mini pepperonis (or regular pepperonis, quartered), or sautéed veggies, such as spinach or mushrooms
- Thinly sliced fresh basil optional for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the English muffin halves cut side up onto a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil. Place in the oven and toast until barely golden, about 4 minutes.
- Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons pizza sauce over each one, using the back of a spoon to spread it evenly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning. Add any desired toppings.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the muffins are browned on the edges. Top with fresh basil. Enjoy hot.
Notes
- TO REFRIGERATE: In a single layer, place your English Muffin Pizzas in an airtight container topping side up for up to one week.
- TO FREEZE/MAKE AHEAD: Toast you English muffin halves as directed and top as desired. Lay the English Muffin Pizzas topping side up on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for at least two hours. Once completely frozen, place each pizza in a freezer-safe container, separating layers of English Muffin Pizzas with parchment paper.
- REHEAT FROM FROZEN: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lay your frozen English Muffin Pizzas on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until heated through.
