Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Split the English muffins in half and, if desired, lightly butter the cut sides.
Toast the English muffin halves in a toaster or under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until slightly crisp.
Spread about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each toasted muffin half, covering the surface evenly.
Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each muffin half.
Top each with two slices of pepperoni (or more if desired), ensuring each piece gets a good amount of toppings.
Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano over the assembled pizza melts for added flavor.
Place the assembled muffins on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with red chili flakes for a spicy kick. Serve warm and enjoy!
