Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Toast the split English muffins lightly in the oven for about 3-5 minutes to help them stay crisp.
  3. Brush the cut sides of the muffins with olive oil and spoon on a thin layer of pizza sauce.
  4. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and add your favorite toppings.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden.
  2. If desired, broil for an additional 30 to 60 seconds for extra browning.
  3. Finish with a pinch of Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.
  4. Let cool for a minute before serving.

Notes

For best results, pre-toast the muffins and use a thin layer of sauce to prevent sogginess. Customize by letting everyone choose their favorite toppings, making it a fun activity for families.
