Ingredients
Instructions

- Cover with shredded cheese, varying according to taste.

Tips & Substitutions
For a crunchier base, toast the English muffins a bit longer before adding toppings. You can substitute the chopped peppers and onions with other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach, or even use a store-bought pizza sauce for convenience. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella or cheddar, to suit your taste. This dish is a fun way to use up leftover vegetables.
