Ingredients
Scale
- 2 English muffins, split
- 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup toppings (e.g., pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, cooked sausage)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for crispier crust)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Place the split English muffins, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.
- If you want a crispier crust, lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
- Spoon one tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each muffin half.
- Distribute the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add your chosen toppings to each mini pizza.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the muffin are lightly toasted.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- For an air fryer version, cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 to 6 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- You can use this recipe for breakfast pizza by substituting sauce with scrambled eggs and bacon bits before adding cheese.
- Freeze assembled, unbaked pizzas on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for later use. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
