Super Simple 5-Minute English Muffin Pizza Recipe
Making Delicious English Muffin Pizzas with Ingredients on Hand
Let me share a simple way to make English muffin pizzas using ingredients you already have at home! Perfect for a quick snack or a light meal.
Ingredients- 2 slices of bread (English muffins or similar)
- 1/4 onion
- 2 strips of bacon (or ham)
- Plenty of mozzarella pizza cheese
- A little cheddar cheese (optional)
Seasoning- 3-4 Tbsp tomato spaghetti sauce (or pizza sauce)
- A pinch of parsley flakes (for garnish)
- 3-4 Tbsp tomato spaghetti sauce (or pizza sauce)
- A pinch of parsley flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the toppings for our pizza. Finely chop or thinly slice the onion. Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces. (Tip: To reduce greasiness and make the bacon more palatable, you can briefly blanch it in hot water before using. This is especially recommended if you’re making this for children.)
Step 2
Now, it’s time to spread the sauce on the bread. Place two slices of bread on a baking sheet or oven-safe pan. Generously spread the tomato spaghetti sauce evenly over the entire surface of each bread slice. Make sure to get good coverage for great flavor. Then, arrange the chopped onion and bacon pieces on top of the sauce.
Step 3
Let’s add plenty of cheese for a rich and gooey texture! Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella pizza cheese over the onion and bacon, covering them like a blanket of snow. If you like, you can also add some cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese blend. Covering the toppings with cheese makes the pizza look even more appealing.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the prepared English muffin pizzas in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary. In about 10 minutes, the edges of the bread should be nicely toasted and crispy, the toppings cooked through, and the cheese perfectly melted and golden brown. For a final touch, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes over the pizza before serving.
