Ingredients
Instructions
- Take English muffins and slice them in halves.
- Place the muffin halves on a cookie sheet.
- Put 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each muffin half.
- Add your own toppings on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
- Bake in the oven at 350°F until the cheese is melted or until bubbly, or cook under the broiler until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispy base, toast the muffin halves lightly before adding toppings. Feel free to swap the mozzarella cheese for a dairy-free alternative or use a blend of cheeses for extra flavor. If you want to add some heat, consider including sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes. Experiment with different toppings like vegetables or cooked meats to customize your snacks to your liking.
Serving Suggestions
These Baby Pizza Snacks make a fantastic party appetizer or a fun lunch option for kids. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or garlic knots for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with Aunt Shelli'S Cranberry-Pear Crisp for a delightful dessert after your pizza snack feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through and the cheese is melted again. For an even crispier texture, you can also briefly broil them for a minute or two.
