Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Carefully split each English muffin in half using a knife or your hands to create 8 halves.
Brush the cut side of each muffin half lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a small pinch of salt for added flavor.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly on the cut side of each muffin half.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, approximately 1/4 cup per muffin half.
Place 2 slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese on each muffin half.
Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano over the top of each pizza for added flavor.
Place the prepared muffin halves on the lined baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two. If desired, garnish with a fresh basil leaf on each pizza for a touch of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Pepperoni English Muffin Pizzas!
