Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Mini pizza bases (or English muffins, halved)
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 4 ounces Fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1 cup Arugula
- 0.5 cup Roasted red bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 2 ounces Prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the mini pizza bases on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over each base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top each base with a slice of fresh mozzarella.
Bake the pizzas in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bases are slightly golden.
While the pizzas bake, toss the arugula with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Once the pizzas are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Top each pizza with a handful of dressed arugula, a few slices of roasted red bell peppers, and a piece of prosciutto.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
