Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 English muffins (or mini bagels or mini naan)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup pizza toppings (such as pepperoni, olives, precooked broccoli, or thinly sliced mushrooms)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the English muffins (or mini naan or mini bagels) in half and place onto a rimmed baking sheet. Top each half with pizza sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, and any desired toppings.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until warmed through and the cheese is just golden brown. (You can also do the same temp and timing in an air fryer.)
- Serve warm, slicing up for younger kids as needed to make them easy to chew.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on a plate in the microwave for 30 seconds or heat through in a 375-degree-F oven for 3-4 minutes.
- Use dairy-free cheese as needed.
- Serve with simple sides such as fruit, applesauce, salad, or roasted broccoli.
- Cut into strips with kitchen scissors to make it easier for younger toddlers to chew.
