Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut English muffins in half.

- Broil for 5–10 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using whole grain English muffins for added fiber. If you're out of pizza sauce, a thin layer of pesto or marinara sauce can work as a substitute. Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients, such as vegetables or herbs. For a lighter option, consider using reduced-fat cheese or going meatless for a vegetarian version that pairs beautifully with Italian recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These mini pizzas make a fun appetizer or a quick weeknight supper. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal. You can also pair them with a side of Low-Fat Baked Ziti for a hearty Italian-themed dinner that the whole family will enjoy.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the muffin halves on a baking sheet and broil for a few minutes until warmed through and the cheese is bubbling. This will help retain their crispiness compared to microwaving.
