Preparation:
After slicing the English muffin, next place the tomatoes or sauce and then the mozzarella cheese on each half of the English muffin. Top your 'pizza' with a few pepperoni slices or other favorite pizza toppings. Place your completed 'pizza' on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet in an oven preheated to 350 F or in a toaster oven. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how crispy your child likes his pizza, or until the cheese is a golden brown color.
