Mini-pizza snack

I remember doing something like this as a kid, then again throughout university. Now with a hungry and fussy (but getting less fussy) 10 year old around, we are having them again. Probably everyone has a version of this, but this is how we like them.  Actually that is what is great about them, it is so easy to customize them to your liking.  One kid has just cheese and sauce, another likes green olives.  I add hot salsa. Plus, it doesn't have huge thick crust with too much greasy cheese. I just can't eat pizza like I used to.

Anyway, this was for dinner but makes for a great snack. Those squeeze bottles of pizza sauce last forever, pretty much any kind of cheese can be used, a bit of pre-sliced pepperoni from the store and even pre-sliced green olives. Yum. And quick!

Mini-pizza snack

The trick turns out to be toasting the english muffins before popping them in the oven. So toast them up well, squirt some pizza sauce, then layers of cheese, pepperoni, green olives, and more cheese. Maybe some hot salsa or chili flakes or the like if you want. In the oven with convection for 4 minutes and there you go.

Next time: if we happened to have left-over chicken I'll try that, maybe different cheese

Mini-Pizza snack
Ingredients

• English muffins, 3-4 halves per adult or hungry child
• pre-sliced peperroni
• grated mozzarella, or really any cheese you like. 
• any veggie you like on pizzas

Method

1. Split the English Muffins and toast them.
2. Spread some pizza sauce.
3. Layer cheese, pepperoni, and veggies. Works well if you put a bit of cheese beneath the pepperoni to hold in place, and then a bit as the final top layer to keep it all together.
4. Pop into the oven for 5 minutes at 350. Put on convection if you have it.
