Ingredients
- 4 English muffins
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 slices pepperoni
- freshly sliced basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Gently open the English muffins, separating the halves, and arranging them cut side up on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly out overtop of the muffins. Bake them at 400° for 3-4 minutes, just until lightly toasted and barely golden brown.
- Spoon the pizza sauce evenly between all of the toasted muffins, and spread out evenly over top.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly out over all of the mini pizzas, then top each with two pepperonis.
- Bake the muffin pizzas for 10 minutes- just until the cheese has evenly melted and the edges are nice and browned.
- Let rest for 1-2 minutes, then top with shredded basil, and serve warm.
Notes
- Don't skip toasting the muffins first! Toasting the muffins before adding the toppings is key to ensuring a crispy crust that doesn't turn soggy.
- Top with whatever you typically enjoy on your pizza- you can keep it as simple (or make it as indulgent) as you like.
- Use alfredo sauce for 'white' pizzas, or even our homemade basil pesto as the sauce.
- Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
