Ingredients
Mini Pizza Ingredients:
- 4 English muffins, cut in half (I used Thomas’ Whole Grain Light)
- 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ~1 cup total of your favorite toppings, cut into small pieces
Topping ideas (makes 8 mini pizzas each):
Peppery Pepperoni: 1/4 green bell pepper (chopped) + ~20 pepperonis (cut in half)
Total Veggie: 1 TB carrots (shredded) + 1 TB bell pepper (chopped) + 5-7 spinach leaves (chopped) + 1 mushroom (sliced & chopped)
Meaty Pineapple: 1/2 cup chopped meat (sausage, bacon, etc.) + 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (drained, cut into small pieces)
Shroomy Spinach: 10-15 spinach leaves (chopped) + 2 mushrooms (sliced & chopped)
Try using ingredients already in your fridge for toppings!
Instructions
- Prep & sauce: Preheat the oven to 400F, or use a small toaster oven and skip preheating. Cut your English muffins in half and lay them on a lined baking sheet, cut side up. Add 1 tablespoon of sauce to each mini pizza crust (8 total), then top with a big pinch of mozzarella cheese.
- Add toppings & bake: Next, load each mini pizza with your favorite toppings (about 2 tablespoons of toppings each). Finally, add another tiny sprinkle of cheese to hold everything together after it’s melty. Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 5-7 minutes, OR toss them in your (not preheated) toaster oven and bake at 400F for 9-10 minutes.
- Serve and store: Let the mini pizzas cool completely, then portion into airtight containers and store in the fridge. I prefer two mini pizzas for each meal, plus a side of fresh cut veggies or a salad.
- To reheat: Place in a toaster oven and bake at 400F for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melty; or microwave for 30 seconds (may get soggy this way). These are also very delicious cold!
Notes
These mini pizzas can be frozen: After cooking, freeze them separately on a baking sheet for at least 4 hours, then store them in a Ziploc or freezer safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat from the freezer, place in a toaster oven and bake at 400F for 12-15 minutes, or until completely heated through. You can also leave them in the fridge to thaw overnight, and then eat cold or reheat as mentioned above.
