Ingredients for making mini pizzas
- 6 whole wheat English Muffins, cut in half
- 2 C. pizza sauce, any brand
- 2 C. shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of your choice – my kids like pepperoni!
- 8 tbs. butter, softened
How to make Mini Pizzas from English Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly butter each English Muffin, inside part up, and place on a large baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes – enough to crisp the muffins up so they won’t get soggy after you put the toppings on.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool a few minutes.
- Spread each muffin with pizza sauce, cheese and toppings of your choice. We let the kids take turns making their own and they love it!
- Once all the pizzas are topped, bake another 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Allow to cool and few minutes and enjoy.
*Makes approximately 6 servings. 1 English Muffin half = 1 serving
