My best friend introduced me to these wonderful English Muffin Pizzas. They are super easy to make on a night when you don't have much time or energy. They are completely customizable and perfect for those days your kid brings some unexpected friends over! I've added a few extra steps if you would like to make them taste a little better than basic kid food pizza - but they're great no matter what. I also buy "light" versions of some of the ingredients to make it a little healthier. This is one of those things I just make on the fly without a recipe - so feel free to tweak it to your liking. Hope you enjoy!
English Muffin Pizzas
Makes 12
1 pkg 6 English muffins
1 jar (8-12oz) Pizza sauce
1 pkg shredded mozzarella cheese (you will not use the entire package)
1 pkg pepperoni (you will not use the entire package)
Optional: Other pizza toppings of your choice
Optional: Garlic salt or garlic powder and Italian seasoning
1. Slice muffins and lay each slice face up on a baking sheet. (I recommend to line it with parchment paper for easier clean up from the melted cheese.) Optional: Sprinkle seasonings on each muffin. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes to lightly toast the tops of the muffins. (This helps prevent the sauce from making the muffins soggy.)
2. Optional: Place pepperonis in a single layer on either a broiler pan or crinkled foil on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 5 minutes to help heat and crisp them.
3. To assemble pizzas, first spread about one tablespoon of sauce evenly on each muffin. Place a small handful of cheese on top. Then place 3-5 pepperonis and/or other toppings of your choosing.
4. Cook in the preheated 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and the muffins are toasted.
