Simple English Muffin Mini Pizzas
Quick & Easy Mini Pizzas Using English Muffins
These delicious mini pizzas made with English muffins are incredibly simple to make and require minimal ingredients! They’re perfect for a quick snack, a fun kids’ activity, or even as a casual party appetizer.
Ingredients- 1 English Muffin
- 2 Tbsp Triple Mushroom Spaghetti Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Diced Onion
- Mayonnaise (a little)
- Parsley Flakes (a little)
- Grated or finely chopped Grana Padano cheese (a little)
- Shredded Pizza Cheese (like Mozzarella) (a generous amount)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely dice the onion into small, uniform cubes. Cutting the onion this small will ensure a tender texture and help it meld beautifully with the sauce.
Step 2
Lightly oil a pan and sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent. Once the onion is softened, add the spaghetti sauce and stir to combine everything. Cook for another minute or two until the sauce is heated through and the flavors have melded together.
Step 3
Add the Grana Padano cheese to the spaghetti sauce mixture. You can either grate it directly into the sauce or add finely chopped pieces, stirring until it’s well incorporated. The cheese will add a wonderful depth of flavor.
Step 4
Now, prepare the English muffin. Using a cup or a cookie cutter that’s slightly smaller than the muffin, press down gently onto the muffin to create an indentation for the sauce. Be careful not to press all the way through to the bottom, but aim to create a cavity as deep as possible.
Step 5
To prevent the muffin from becoming soggy, apply a thin layer of mayonnaise inside the indentation you created. A thin spread of butter would also work well. This barrier will help the muffin toast nicely.
Step 6
Generously spoon the prepared spaghetti sauce mixture into the indentation of the English muffin, filling it up.
Step 7
Top the sauce with a generous amount of pizza cheese. Gently press the cheese down to help it melt evenly. If desired, sprinkle with more grated Grana Padano cheese or a few finely chopped pieces, and finish with a dusting of parsley flakes. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and lightly golden. That’s it! Enjoy your easy and delicious mini pizzas! ^.^
