Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Bases
- Place the split English muffin halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
- Toast them lightly in the oven for 2–3 minutes to create a sturdy, crispy base.
Step 3: Add the Sauce
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each English muffin half.
- Use the back of a spoon to evenly distribute the sauce over the surface.
Step 4: Add Cheese and Toppings
- Sprinkle about 2–3 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce for each muffin.
- Place 2 slices of pepperoni on each muffin half, or customize with your favorite toppings.
Step 5: Bake the Pizzas
- Return the baking sheet to the oven.
- Bake the pizzas for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

- Serve warm and enjoy your fast, delicious snack or meal!
Notes
- Customize the Toppings: Add vegetables, cooked chicken, or extra spices like oregano or red pepper flakes for variety.
