Transform snack time into a quick and delicious feast with these easy-to-make English Muffin Pizzas! Perfect for a weeknight dinner, a kid-friendly treat, or an effortless party appetizer, this recipe takes just 20 minutes from start to finish. Crisp English muffin halves serve as the base for a flavorful layer of rich pizza sauce, gooey melted mozzarella, and your favorite toppings like pepperoni or veggies. A sprinkle of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper adds a gourmet touch, while an optional brush of olive oil elevates the crispness and flavor. Baked to bubbly perfection and optionally broiled for a golden finish, these mini pizzas are customizable, budget-friendly, and utterly irresistible.
Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Split the English muffins in half to create 8 halves and place them cut-side-up on the prepared baking sheet.
Optional: Lightly brush the cut sides of the English muffins with olive oil for added crispness and flavor.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each English muffin half, covering the surface evenly.
Sprinkle approximately 3 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each muffin half.
Add optional toppings, such as pepperoni slices, diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, or olives, to each pizza.
Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the top of the pizzas for extra flavor.
Bake the English muffin pizzas in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional: Broil the pizzas on high for 1-2 additional minutes to achieve a golden, slightly crispy top.
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
