Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 200 grams Ground Italian sausage
- 150 grams Shredded Swiss cheese
- 120 milliliters Pizza sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
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 8 mini pizza bases and place them on the baking sheet.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spatula to break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
Spread approximately 1-1.5 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each English muffin half, leaving a small border around the edges.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage crumbles over the sauced muffins.
Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese generously over the sausage layer on each muffin half.
Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano on each mini pizza for added flavor. Add crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicier option.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the muffin edges are crisp.
Remove the mini pizzas from the oven. Optionally sprinkle with a touch of salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
Allow the pizzas to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
