Ingredients For English Muffin Pizzas

Pizza Basics

  • English Muffins: I use classic ones, but whole wheat or sourdough will work, too.
  • Olive Oil: We’ll brush this onto the muffins to get a nice crisp texture, like a pizza crust!
  • Pizza Sauce: This is a quick mixture of tomato sauce, garlic powder, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Oregano and Italian seasoning are also nice in this! For less spice, you can leave out the red pepper flakes.

Pizza 3 Ways

  • Ham & Cheese: Top your pizza with ham and cheddar cheese. Add pineapple for a Hawaiian variation.
  • Classic: Go extra cheesy with mozzarella, feta cheese, and parmesan. Finish with a sprinkle of chives for a pop of flavor.
  • Pepperoni: Another classic, top this version with mozzarella and slices of pepperoni. This is one of our favorite pizza toppings!
