Ingredients
4 English Muffins, split in half
1/2 cup Pizza or Marinara Sauce

4 slices or 2 links Cooked Beef Bacon or Turkey Sausage, crumbled or chopped

- Place the baking sheet back into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and slightly golde
- Let them cool for a minute before serving
Notes
Pre-toasting the English muffins is a crucial step to prevent a soggy base.
Feel free to substitute ingredients. Bagels or naan can be used for the base; pesto or white garlic sauce can replace marinara; and any cheese, pre-cooked protein, or vegetables will work.
For an extra crispy result, cook in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 5-7 minutes.
To get a golden, bubbly cheese topping, switch the oven to the broil setting for the last 30-60 seconds, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Store cooled pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To freeze, flash freeze on a baking sheet for one hour before transferring to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
For best reheating results, use an oven or air fryer to maintain crispness; avoid the microwave.
