Notes
Toast the English muffins before adding toppings to prevent sogginess. Monitor your toaster oven as heat levels vary. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 30 seconds but watch closely to avoid burning. You can substitute English muffins with bagels, pita bread, or gluten-free alternatives. Vegan versions can be made using vegan cheese and plant-based pizza sauce.
