Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Split the English muffins in half and place them, cut side up, on a baking sheet.
Brush the cut sides with a light layer of olive oil.
Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce onto each muffin half, covering the surface evenly.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the marinara sauce.
Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni slices, diced bell peppers, or sliced black olives.
Lightly sprinkle each muffin pizza with Italian seasoning for added flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional: Broil the muffin pizzas for 1 to 2 minutes after baking for a lightly browned, crispy topping.
Remove from the oven, let them cool for a minute, then serve and enjoy!
