English Muffin Freezer Pizzas
This recipe is the QUEEN of easy. Your toddlers will love them, your teenagers will love them, your husband, who eats like a hybrid toddler/teenager will also, indeed, love them. ;)
This is a great way to use up that extra jarred pasta sauce you have in your fridge, and only takes a few minutes to put together. I make a sleeve's worth at a time, and pop them in the freezer to heat up and eat on another night. It's great for those quick lunches where making a sandwich even feels like too much work, and can even be served as a dinner alongside a salad.
ENGLISH MUFFIN FREEZER PIZZAS
INGREDIENTS:
- English muffins I prefer extra crispy
- Jarred or homemade tomato sauce, 1 T per muffin
- Flaky or table salt
- Italian seasonings
- Shredded mozzarella cheese, 1-2 T per muffin
DIRECTIONS:
1.) Slice your muffins in half, and lay on a baking sheet
2.) Spread a tablespoon of sauce onto each muffin
3.) Sprinkle with a few flakes of sea salt, and a bit of italian seasoning basil and oregano work great if you don’t have a blend.
4.) Cover each muffin with mozzarella cheese
5.) Flash-freeze them on the baking sheet. Once they are completely frozen, transfer to a freezer ziplock bag
TO HEAT:
1.) Warm muffins on a plate in the microwave. Start at 30 seconds, and add time in 15-second increments. You want them to be thawed, but not hot.
2.) Turn your broiler on to 525, and broil for one minute, or until the edges are crisp and the cheese is melty.
*If you don't want to use a microwave, place your muffins on a baking tray, and put into a cold oven. Set the oven to 350. Your pizzas will be ready to eat two minutes after the oven reaches it's final temperature.
Serve up and enjoy!
