Mini Pizzas

1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or set the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2.Split the English muffins in half and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the cut surfaces of the muffins with olive oil.

3.Bake the muffin halves for 3 minutes to lightly toast the surface and prevent them from becoming soggy. Alternatively, skip this step if using the broiler for the entire cook time.

4.Remove the muffins from the oven. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce onto each muffin half, spreading it evenly to the edges. Season the sauce lightly with salt, pepper, and a small pinch of dried oregano.

5.Top each muffin generously with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the pepperoni or any other desired toppings.

6.Return the baking sheet to the oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or broil on high for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and the edges of the muffins are golden brown. If broiling, monitor them closely to prevent burning.

7.Carefully remove the pizzas from the oven. Let them cool for 1 minute before serving, as the sauce and cheese will be extremely hot.
