English Muffin Pizzas are personal little pizzas that come together in no time at all with just 3 ingredients! No need to turn the oven on, all you need is a toaster and microwave.
My husband and I love pizza, like really really love it. Our pizza obsession reached new heights when I started making homemade dough and pizza pockets. Fancy and fun pizzas are great, truly - but not on the Mondayest Monday! You know what I mean, we all have those days.
These days may look different for each of us, but what I love about this "recipe" is that it works for everybody! Children, college students, and those of us trying to adult. You can make these as basic as you want or amp them up with leftovers and seasoning. Honestly, my favorite is just marinara sauce with a whole lotta cheese (dairy-free, of course) then some pepper and dried basil to top it off.
The key to these English muffin pizzas is to toast the halves first, then pop them in the microwave with toppings. That way you'll have a crispy base to bite into. I hesitate to call this a recipe since it's so easy and flexible, but I really want to continue documenting what I eat on a daily basis - even if it's super simple.
When I shared my English muffin pizza on Instagram, I was blown away by how many of y'all grew up with these! Where was my memo? I guess I was busy with my bagel bites, ramen, and creamed corn haha.
So the next time you need a snack or quick lunch, give these little pizzas a try! They won't let you down. What other quick & easy recipes would you like to see? Let me know in the comments section!

For sure! I hope she loves them 🙂 Remember to make sure your english muffins are free of milk products, if needed. There are a handful of brands who do not use dairy
