Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Carefully split the English muffins in half to create 8 rounds. Place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each muffin half.
Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce for each muffin half.
Add a heaping tablespoon of crumbled bacon over the cheese, ensuring each muffin has an even amount.
Sprinkle a small pinch of Parmesan cheese and a bit of Italian seasoning over each mini pizza. Add red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the muffins are lightly golden.
Remove the little bacon pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
