Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven’s grill.
-
-
Slice Muffins: Carefully slice the English muffins in half using a serrated knife, creating a top and bottom for each muffin.
-
Spread Sauce: Take the tomato paste and spread it evenly on each muffin half. This will serve as the pizza sauce base.
-
Add Toppings: Now, it’s time to get creative! Add your desired toppings onto each muffin half. For a classic pizza flavor, sprinkle cheese generously over the tomato paste. If you’re including ham, place it on top of the cheese. For a tropical twist, add pineapple pieces to your liking.
-
Grill: Once your toppings are in place, carefully transfer the prepared muffin halves onto a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet under the preheated grill in your oven. Keep a close eye on the muffins as they cook, ensuring the cheese melts to perfection and the edges of the muffins turn golden brown. This typically takes about 5 minutes, but times may vary depending on your oven and preferred level of crispiness.
-
Serve: Once the cheese is gooey and bubbly, and the muffins are toasted to your liking, carefully remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool for a minute or two before serving.
-
Enjoy: Serve these delightful Easy Pizza Muffins as a quick snack, a fun lunch, or even as a creative breakfast option. They’re perfect for busy weekdays, lazy weekends, or even entertaining guests at kids’ parties with their customizable toppings that can turn them into playful faces of clowns, pirates, monsters, and more! 🎉🍴
Notes:
- Customize: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add your favorite pizza ingredients such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or olives to personalize your Easy Pizza Muffins.
- Storage: These muffins are best enjoyed fresh and hot out of the oven. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving to restore their deliciousness.
- Vegetarian Option: To make these Easy Pizza Muffins completely vegetarian, simply omit the ham and load up on your favorite veggies for a tasty meat-free alternative.
