1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup mini pepperoni
½ cup sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons fresh basil or parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Slice English muffins in half and lightly toast them to prevent sogginess.
3. Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce over each muffin half.
4. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese to each one.
5. Top with mini pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, or your favorite toppings.
6. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove from oven, garnish with Italian seasoning and fresh herbs.
8. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Toasting the muffins first prevents sogginess under the sauce.
Don’t overload with toppings—less is more for even cooking.
Great for meal prep—freeze assembled pizzas and bake as needed.
