Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 4 tablespoons Pesto sauce
- 4 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the English muffins in half horizontally to create 4 halves and place them on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up.
Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto sauce evenly over the cut surface of each English muffin half.
Place a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese on top of the pesto on each muffin half.
Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves and arrange them on top of the mozzarella slices, using about 3 halves per muffin half.
Drizzle the tomatoes and cheese lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle each muffin with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the English muffins are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Pesto Tomato Mozzarella English Muffin Pizzas!
