Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup Chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Split the English muffins in half to create 8 rounds. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the surface of each muffin half lightly with olive oil. This helps them crisp up in the oven.
Spread about 1–2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly on each muffin half.
Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, dividing it evenly among the muffins.
Add 2 pepperoni slices to each mini pizza, or customize with chopped vegetables or your favorite toppings.
Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over the top of each pizza for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the muffins are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Mini Pizza Appetizers warm!
