Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pizza sauce Room temperature or warmed slightly for easier spreading.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Optional for an herby flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder For a gentle garlic boost.
  • 6 pieces English muffins Split into 12 halves (lightly toasted optional).
  • 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese Packed or your favorite melting cheese.
  • 1 cup Pepperoni slices Optional topping.
  • 1 cup Assorted vegetables Chopped small (bell pepper, onion, mushrooms), optional.
  • handful Fresh basil leaves For garnish, optional.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a rack in the middle position so the muffins bake evenly.
  • Split the English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut sides up. For a crisper base, toast the muffin halves lightly under the broiler for 1–2 minutes before topping.
  • Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each muffin half, covering the surface but leaving a small edge for a mini 'crust.' About 1–2 tablespoons of sauce per half is perfect.
  • Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. If you like bold flavor, add a little extra Italian seasoning. If you prefer mild, skip the Italian seasoning.
  • Add shredded cheese on top of the sauce, making sure each muffin has a generous, even layer—roughly 2 tablespoons per half.
  • Add any additional toppings as desired. Keep toppings light so the muffins heat through: a few pepperoni slices, a pinch of chopped peppers, or a small scattering of mushrooms work well.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and edges begin to turn golden. Watch closely in the last 2 minutes to avoid burning.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving—about 1–2 minutes. Garnish with torn basil if you like, slice if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

For the crispiest results, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes or until warmed through.
