Easy and Delicious Microwave Pizza Recipes

This is a pizza fake-out. No time or too lazy to make a pizza crust? No problem when you have a package of English muffins hanging out in your freezer. Just split a muffin, pop it in the toaster to crisp it up and then top with any of the toppings below for a quick and delish pizza that the kids can make themselves.

Pepperoni Pizza

Spread pasta sauce on a toasted English muffin. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and a couple of slices of pepperoni. I like to slice the pepperoni into strips because it's easier for the kids to eat this way.

Microwave for twenty to thirty seconds until the cheese is melted.

Veggie Pizza

Spread pasta sauce on a toasted English muffin. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and an assortment of  diced cooked veggies. Let the kids make pictures on top of their pizza with the veggies and I guarantee you they will eat them!

Microwave for twenty to thirty seconds until the cheese is melted.

Suggestions for veggies:

• mushrooms
• bell pepper
• tomato
• olives
• zuchini
• fennel
• eggplant
• pineapple - ok it's not a veggie but it still works on a pizza
• spinach
• basil
• cilantro
• parsley
• onion

Mediterranean Pizza

Sausage Pizza
