Ingredients

• 4 pieces English muffins
• 200 grams Ground Italian sausage
• 150 grams Shredded Swiss cheese
• 120 milliliters Pizza sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the English muffins in half horizontally to create 8 mini pizza bases and place them on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spatula to break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 4

Spread approximately 1-1.5 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each English muffin half, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the cooked sausage crumbles over the sauced muffins.

Step 6

Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese generously over the sausage layer on each muffin half.

Step 7

Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano on each mini pizza for added flavor. Add crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicier option.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the muffin edges are crisp.

Step 9

Remove the mini pizzas from the oven. Optionally sprinkle with a touch of salt and black pepper to taste before serving.

Step 10

Allow the pizzas to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
