Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole English muffins
- 16 pieces Tater tots
- 0.5 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 0.75 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tater tots in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
While the tater tots are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
Split the English muffins in half to create 8 halves and lightly toast them in a toaster or under the broiler until golden.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce over each English muffin half, spreading it to the edges.
Top each muffin half with 2 crispy tater tots, gently pressing them down to flatten slightly.
Sprinkle the crumbled sausage evenly over the tater tots, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese. Use about 2 tablespoons of cheese per muffin half.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella, followed by a pinch of dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Place the assembled pizzas on a baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired before serving.
