Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Spread about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each toasted muffin half, covering the surface evenly.

Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each muffin half.

Step 6

Top each with two slices of pepperoni (or more if desired), ensuring each piece gets a good amount of toppings.

Step 7

Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano over the assembled pizza melts for added flavor.

Step 8

Place the assembled muffins on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
