Cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella Can mix in some cheddar or parmesan for extra flavor.

Toppings

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place your mini pizza bases (English muffins, pita, naan, or bagel halves) on a lined sheet pan.
Optionally, toast the bases for 2 to 3 minutes for extra crispness.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each base.
Add a small handful of shredded mozzarella.

Topping

Add bite-sized toppings of your choice.
Sprinkle with a pinch of oregano or Italian seasoning.

Baking

Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until cheese is melted and edges are lightly golden.
Let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes for best results. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
