English Muffin Pizzas

Did your mom make you English muffin pizzas growing up? Mine did all the time, and my sister and I loved to help her make them. I came across a recipe in a cookbook recently and realized that it had been at least 20 years since I’d had one. I wondered, were they really as good as I remembered or was it just nostalgia kicking in? I decided to try them and am happy to report that they were just as delicious — in a yummy, kid food kind of way — as I remembered. The key to making the best English muffin pizzas is to toast the English muffins before you top them with sauce and cheese. Otherwise, they’ll come out soft and undercooked, and the beauty is in the toasty crunch of every nook and cranny.

  • I made these last week for a quick Friday night dinner and they were a huge hit. I loved them because they were fast and easy. The rest of the family loved them because they were tasty!!
    Even my pickiest eater said they were good. High praise from him!! LOL
    I have already added them to next month’s menu and I’m going to try different toppings on them. I think next time I’m going to try putting BBQ pulled chicken on top of some of them along with some cheese and maybe red onion.
