What you’ll need to make English muffin mini pizzas

This is barely a recipe, and is extremely flexible. You can swap ingredients based on your favorite pizza toppings, or what you have in the fridge.

Here’s what you’ll need:

English muffins- you can use regular, whole wheat, or gluten-free
Sauce– I use either pizza sauce or pesto
Veggies– my faves are finely chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, shredded brussels sprouts, sliced zucchini and red onions. No need to pre-cook them!
Cheese- a must to hold the ingredients on- I used mozzarella but cheddar would work as well.
Meat- go for small meat slices or chop it up. I used pepperoni sticks sliced thinly
Spices- I like a little sprinkling of basil on my pizza. Totally optional!

How to make English muffin pizzas

Assemble your pizzas on english muffin halves and arrange on a baking sheet.
Broil for 2-4 minutes (depending on the strength of your broiler), or until cheese melts and edges of the english muffins get crispy.
Enjoy!

Can I meal prep this recipe?

You absolutely can, these pizzas store well in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months.

Some tips for meal prepping:

cook, then cool completely before storing
place bits of wax or parchment paper between the pizzas to keep them from sticking together (this is optional; they stuck a little bit for me but I wasn’t bothered)
save the english muffin bag for freezing them; freeze upright if possible to keep the toppings in place
thaw completely before re-heating in the microwave or in the oven

Tips & equipment for English muffin pizzas

make sure to use good, sturdy baking sheets (<–I love these ones!)
store in a large container like this 6 cup meal prep container in the fridge and separate with parchment if desired (I found they stuck a bit but it didn’t bother me). To freeze, I like to store in the English muffin bag
