Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the split English muffins cut-side up on the baking sheet. Brush each half lightly with olive oil.
Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce on each muffin half, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
While the pizzas bake, prepare the salad topping. Toss the arugula with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
Once the mini pizzas are done baking, remove them from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
Top each pizza with a slice of prosciutto, a handful of seasoned arugula, and a few shavings of Parmesan cheese.
Finish with a light drizzle of balsamic glaze over each mini pizza for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of warm, cheesy pizza and fresh salad topping!
