English Muffin Pizzas:

Ingredients:

• 4 English muffins, split in half
• 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for brushing)
• Dried herbs such as oregano or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well. If not, a baking sheet will work fine.
2. Prepare the English Muffins:
   • Split the English muffins in half using a fork to help maintain their nooks and crannies.
   • Place them on a baking sheet, cut side up, and lightly brush with olive oil if desired. Toast them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes until slightly crispy. This step is optional but helps prevent the muffins from becoming soggy.
3. Add Sauce and Toppings:
   • Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce on each muffin half.
   • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
   • Add your preferred toppings.
4. Bake the Muffin Pizzas:
   • Arrange the muffin halves on the pizza stone or baking sheet.
   • Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
5. Serve:
   • Sprinkle dried herbs over the pizzas for added flavor.
   • Serve hot.
