Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 6 ounces Goat cheese
- 0.333 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Split the English muffins in half to make 8 halves and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Brush each English muffin half with the garlic-infused olive oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Spread approximately 3/4 ounce of goat cheese onto each muffin half, making sure to create an even layer.
Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the goat cheese layer on each muffin half.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese onto each muffin half to help hold the toppings together.
Season each muffin pizza with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the muffins are golden and crisp.
While the pizzas are baking, roughly chop the fresh basil leaves.
Once the muffins are out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped basil onto each pizza for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your easy, gourmet Sun Dried Tomato Goat Cheese English Muffin Pizzas!
