Cheese: Besides mozzarella, you can use cheddar, asiago, pepper jack, asiago, feta, and parmesan for starters Sauces: Mix it up by using spaghetti sauce, pesto sauce, vodka sauce, sun-dried tomato basil, or alfredo Meats: There are tons of options here, mini pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, bbq chicken, prosciutto, or salami. Veggies: We can get pretty wild here with these. Try peppers, onion, artichokes, spinach, pineapple, peppercinis, basil, garlic, or anything else you can think of. Veggies won’t cook all the way through before the pizzas are done so it’s a good idea to pre cook them partially before adding them to the pizzas. English Muffins: There are lots of options for english muffins. You can use whole wheat, low carb, sourdough or plain. Even gluten free will work with these pizzas. Use what your family will eat best. Toasty: If you like a toastier base, broil the english muffins on the cookie sheet before topping. Place under the broiler for 1-3 minutes. Watch closely so you don’t burn them. This give the english muffin a nice crunchy base. It will also help keep the english muffin from getting too soft because of the sauce.

Toast your english muffin, then top with desired toppings. Do not bake. Individually wrap the pizzas in plastic wrap or foil and place in a freezer safe bag.
