English Muffin Pizza

Serves 4

Ingredients  

4 whole grain or regular English muffins, split in half

½ cup pizza sauce, store-bought or homemade

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Olive oil spray, optional, for extra crisp

Optional toppings: mini pepperoni, diced bell peppers, diced mushrooms, olives, diced pineapple, cooked and crumbled sausage (leaner option have shredded chicken breast for your protein)

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

• Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil for easy cleanup.

• Split English muffins in half and place cut-side up on the baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil if you want them extra crisp.

• Spoon about 1 Tablespoon of pizza sauce on each muffin half and spread evenly.

• Top with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.

• Add desired toppings. You can let the kids build their own for fun!

• Bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the muffins are lightly golden on the edges.

• Let cool slightly before serving because the cheese will be hot!
