Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices Pepperoni slices
- 4 whole Black olives
- 0.5 piece Green bell pepper
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the English muffins in half horizontally to create 8 rounds. Lay them cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush each muffin half lightly with olive oil to help create a crispy base.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each muffin round.
Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce on each muffin.
Decorate the 'witch faces'! Use pepperoni slices for the cheeks, and slice each black olive into rounds to create eyes or mouths. Cut the green bell pepper into thin strips to create eyebrows or witches' hats.
Place a fresh basil leaf on each for a touch of greenery and additional flavor.
Sprinkle with optional red chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Remove the Pizza Witches from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy the spooky magic!
