Ingredients

For Pepperoni Mini Pizzas:

2 English muffins split
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
12 slices pepperoni
½ tsp red pepper flakes optional

For Pesto-Goat Cheese Mini Pizzas:

2 English muffins split
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp pesto
2 oz goat cheese
1 Roma tomato diced

Instructions

For the Pepperoni Mini Pizzas:

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking.
Place the English muffin halves onto a baking sheet, cut side facing up, and lightly season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Spread one tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each English muffin half, then sprinkle red pepper flakes if you prefer a slight heat.
Divide the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each muffin half, and top each with three slices of pepperoni for a balanced, classic flavor profile.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden.

For the Pesto-Goat Cheese Mini Pizzas:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if not already done.
Arrange the English muffin halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Spread half a tablespoon of pesto onto each muffin half, ensuring an even layer for balanced flavor.
Top each with one tablespoon of crumbled goat cheese and a portion of the diced Roma tomato for added freshness.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the goat cheese is warm and slightly melted, and the muffins are crisp on the edges.

Notes

To make these mini pizzas gluten-free, simply substitute the standard English muffins with gluten-free English muffins. Adjust baking time as needed based on the specific brand and type used, ensuring they are toasted and crisp.
