Ingredients
English Muffin Pizzas
- 4 English muffins, split
- ½ cup canned pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 slices pepperoni sausage
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients so everything is ready to go before you start cooking.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to allow it to reach the ideal baking temperature.
- Prepare Muffins: Arrange the English muffin halves cut-side up on a baking sheet to create the base for your pizzas.
- Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over each English muffin half to create the flavorful layer that binds the toppings.
- Top with Cheese and Pepperoni: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella generously on each muffin, then top with 4 slices of pepperoni per muffin.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and slightly browned around the edges, approximately 10 minutes.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, toast the English muffins before adding the toppings.
- You can customize toppings according to preference — try veggies, different meats, or extra cheese.
- Using pre-shredded mozzarella saves time and melts evenly.
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve the best texture.
