EQUIPMENT:

• Baking sheet – I like these baking sheets because they have a diamond texture which is good for heat distribution.
• Parchment paper – a quick tip is that it works great for easy cleanup!
• Serrated knife – most store-bought English muffins come pre-sliced but I make my gluten-free English muffins so use a serrated knife to cut them to prevent crushing and tearing.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Serving

• 1 1/2 English muffins (gluten-free)
• 1/4 c pasta sauce (gluten-free)
• 3/4 c shredded cheese
• 12 pieces dry pepperoni (gluten-free)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut English muffins (if not previously cut). Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

2. Spread pasta sauce on each English muffin

3. Add pepperoni slices and top with shredded cheese.

4. Bake at 400 F for 10 min then broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.

VARIATIONS:

• Instead of shredded cheese use a different type of cheese. Try mozzarella, white cheddar, cheddar cheese, or plant-based cheese.
• Instead of pizza sauce, use pasta sauce, tomato sauce, or leftover meat sauce.

• Try a different type of meat. Ham and salami are great options but roasted chicken would work well too.
• Add some sweetness. I love adding a bit of pineapple to my pizzas! It’s a great way to balance the salt and fat.
• Make it vegetarian by skipping the meat and adding mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes, or olives.

TIPS:

• When making your English muffin pizza gluten-free, start with a tablespoon of sauce per half. The holes in the muffins will fill up with sauce quickly so if you use too much, it may make them soggy.
• Make these simple mini pizzas ahead of time. Assemble the pizzas then refrigerate until you are ready to bake them.
• Save cleanup time by placing the pizzas on parchment paper or a foil-covered baking sheet before baking.
