English Muffin Pizzas
Description
To prepare these English Muffin Pizzas, the muffins are sliced and lightly toasted to prevent sogginess after toppings. Each half is spread with pizza sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese, seasoned with pizza seasoning, and adorned with mini pepperonis. Baking in a hot oven melts the cheese and crisps the edges, yielding a satisfying bite-sized pizza.
The toasting step helps maintain texture, and the simple assembly makes these quick to prepare. The pizzas are best served warm. They freeze well and can be reheated directly from frozen without losing much texture.
Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator preserves freshness for several days. Reheating in a microwave, toaster oven, or conventional oven restores warmth and melts cheese again.
Ingredients
- 6 English muffins cut in half
- ¾ cup pizza sauce store bought or homemade sauce
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon pizza seasoning
- ½ cup mini pepperonis
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- While oven is preheating, make sure muffins are sliced and toast in the toaster for a minute or so. This makes sure the pizza stays more crunchy and doesn't get too soggy.
- After it's done toasting, add about ⅛ cup of sauce to each muffin. Then, top with ½ cup shredded cheese, a sprinkle of pizza seasoning, and mini pepperonis.
- Bake for 10 minutes or so or until all cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
Notes
- Toast English muffins before adding toppings to keep pizzas crisp and avoid sogginess.
- These pizzas freeze well—freeze individually on a baking sheet, then store in a freezer bag for up to two months.
- Reheat frozen pizzas in the microwave, toaster oven, or in a 425°F preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheat gently before serving.
