Ingredients
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup Chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Split the English muffins in half to create 8 rounds. Place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Brush the surface of each muffin half lightly with olive oil. This helps them crisp up in the oven.
Step 4
Spread about 1–2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly on each muffin half.
Step 5
Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, dividing it evenly among the muffins.
Step 6
Add 2 pepperoni slices to each mini pizza, or customize with chopped vegetables or your favorite toppings.
Step 7
Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over the top of each pizza for added flavor.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the muffins are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Mini Pizza Appetizers warm!
