Split the English muffin in half using your hands or a dull butter knife, ensuring a slightly uneven surface.
Place the muffin halves cut-side up on a small plate or baking sheet. Note: if the plate is microwave-safe, you can skip the oven entirely.
Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup on each muffin half. Try to convince yourself this is fine.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of pre-shredded mozzarella cheese on each muffin half. Be aware that it will probably melt weirdly.
For a touch of sophistication and sadness, add a pinch of dried oregano on top (optional).
Microwave on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute until the cheese sort of melts. If you insist on using the oven, broil at 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes, but don't expect miracles.
Remove from the microwave or oven and let cool for 1 minute. Reflect on life choices during this time.
Eat directly over the sink, savoring the combination of soggy muffin, warm ketchup, and rubbery cheese.
