Spooky English Muffin Pizza Recipe
English muffin pizzas aren’t revolutionary, but I recently realized I hadn’t made them for my kiddos in years — and they’re still a total hit!.
After school, my hungry crew usually bursts through the door, stares into the open fridge, and dramatically declares, “Mom, there’s nothing to eat!” Meanwhile, snacks are everywhere. So today, instead of pointing them to a granola bar, I handed them a fun kitchen project.
In honor of Halloween, we turned English muffins into ghoulish mini pizzas. I had everything prepped — muffins split, sauce, cheese, and spooky toppings ready — just waiting for my hungry monsters to arrive.
They loved creating their own snacks (and I loved the bonding time). Within minutes, the roaring stopped…and we had delicious, slightly creepy pizzas to show for it!
Here’s what they made:
Ingredients (for each muffin)
English Muffins, split apart into halves (I used multi-grain...my kiddos didn't notice)
Tomato or Pizza Sauce (1 Tablespoon (Tbsp)
1 teaspoon of Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning (or Cherchies® Basil Pizzazz Seasoning for a stronger flavor).
A dash of pepper
Shredded Mozzarella or Mexican Cheese Blend
Cooked sausage (optional)
Olives, sliced for eyes (optional)
Jarred Banana Peppers (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Split apart English muffins with a fork. Assemble the pizzas, starting with the sauce, the cheese, and then the toppings. Sprinkle with Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning (or Cherchies® Basil Pizzazz).
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the mini pizzas are melty;)
Here's what they look like without the crazy faces! Enjoy!
