Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 English muffins
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 cup Black olives (sliced)
- 0.25 cup Green bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup Mushrooms (thinly sliced)
- 8 Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Carefully slice the English muffins in half and lay them out cut-side-up on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly brush each muffin half with olive oil to help them crisp up while baking.
Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over each muffin half, evenly distributing it to cover the surface.
Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the marinara sauce. Adjust the amount based on your cheesiness preference.
Add toppings to create fun, turtle-approved designs! Use pepperoni slices for the 'shell,' black olives for 'eyes,' and diced green bell peppers, mushrooms, and basil for extra character.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For an extra crispy finish, turn on the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious and playful Ninja Turtle Pizzas!
