Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Split the English muffins in half using a fork to create nooks and crannies.
- Lightly toast the English muffins (optional) in the oven or toaster for a few minutes to prevent sogginess.

- Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over the sauce, ensuring it covers the sauce completely.
- Add your desired toppings. Distribute them evenly over the cheese.

Notes
Don't overload the toppings to prevent soggy muffins. Pre-cook any meats before adding them to the pizzas. Lightly toasting the muffins before adding the sauce creates a crispier crust. Always put the cheese on top of the toppings to help hold everything together and ensure even melting. English Muffin Pizzas can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours or frozen for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
