  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 mini pizzas (from 4 English muffins) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 4 English muffins, split in half
  • 1–2 teaspoons olive oil (optional, for brushing)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings (choose your favorites)

  • Pepperoni slices
  • Sliced bell peppers
  • Sliced black olives
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Spinach leaves
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Artichoke hearts
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Spicy sausage crumbles
  • Scrambled eggs
  • Bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare the English Muffins: Split the English muffins in half. Lightly toast them until golden brown to create a crispy base that will hold toppings without becoming soggy.
  2. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread a generous spoonful of pizza sauce onto each toasted muffin half, leaving a small border around the edge for a classic pizza look.
  3. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella generously over the sauce to add creamy texture and to help bind the toppings as it melts.
  4. Top Your Pizza: Arrange your choice of toppings evenly over the cheese. Ensure toppings are distributed so every bite is flavorful.
  5. Bake Until Melty: Place the assembled English Muffin Pizzas on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Toast English muffins before adding toppings to avoid sogginess and ensure a crunchy crust.
  • Don’t overload toppings to maintain even cooking and a crisp base.
  • Use pre-shredded cheese for quicker melting and convenience.
  • Spread sauce moderately to prevent sogginess.
  • Watch oven temperatures closely to avoid burning or drying out the pizzas.
