I could eat these everyday

If you are like me, you are always looking for easy dinners.  Also, if you are like me, you like pizza.  Finally, if you are anything like me, you love the muffin that comes from England.

I can't seem to get enough of the English Muffin.  I already eat one for breakfast every day.  And recently, I've rediscovered another use for the English Muffin.

I remember eating English Muffin Pizzas pretty regularly as a kid.  Now I now why.  They are super easy to make.  And they are cheap (hello six for a dollar)!  Plus they are so yummy.  And yet, for some reason, the EMP became non-existent once I left home and ventured out into the real world.

I appear to be making up for lost time now.  Let's just say, in the past few weeks, I've made these for dinner more times than should be legal.

I love these almost as much as my son loves quesadillas, which, for those of you that know the extent of his love for the cheesy grilled tortilla, is saying a lot.

Without further ado, I give you the directions for the goodness that is the English Muffin Pizza:

Step 1:  Preheat oven to 400°F

Step 2:  Gather a grand total of 4 ingredients (although it could be more if you like to complicate things).  You will need, at minimum:

• English muffins
• Pizza (or marinara) sauce
• Mozzarella cheese
• Turkey Pepperoni

Step 3: (This is optional) Lightly toast english muffin to dry it out.  This will make your pizza crispier.  I like crispy pizza.  If you prefer a softer crust, or if you are just lazy, you may omit this step. 

Step 4.  If you haven't yet chopped up your pizza toppings, now's the time to do it (but don't forget about that english muffin in the toaster)!

Step 5.  Assemble.  Pile it on.  Be messy if you like.

Step 6.  Place the english muffin directly on the oven rack.  Again, this is to ensure ultimate crispiness.  If you don't like the crispiness, then fine.  Use a baking sheet (But that messiness from Step 5 will burn on your baking sheet.  I'm just sayin).

Step 7.  Pizza is done when cheese is melted (which only took a mere 5 minutes at 400°)

Step 8.  Cut up into cute little pieces and enjoy!  There will be no leftovers.

From start to finish, these can be made in oh, 15-20 minutes tops.  Including oven preheat time (my oven is really old and is slow to heat up).  If that isn't fast and easy, I don't know what is. 

If you are serving this to your family, you could add a lovely salad on the side.  Or if you are eating alone, you can just eat the pizza straight from the cutting board.  Not that I would ever do that... 

I can't be the only one who has such love for the EMP, right?  If you make them and love them, let me know.  If you make them and don't love them, please lie to me and tell me that you did, OK?  It would really make my day.

Okay...I have all the ingredients minus the EM. I wonder if I can pick some up at Rite Aid on my way home tonight?! Because HELLO, I must make these.

(Dude, we've been eating french toast far too much at our house. I need something new and exciting.)

So, what else can you teach us to make that is easy?

Ha I came here to say that Isabel would love this entry and she's already beat me. I can't believe she doesn't make these already.

You must really love the EM to eat it every single day for breakfast. And now for dinner all the time.

How can you all eat the same darn things every single day? I must learn this. My checking account would probably love me for it.

I can eat the same thing everyday. No problem.

And I didn't make these last night. I thought I had a frozen pizza to cook. I got home and preheated the oven. And then realized I DID NOT HAVE A FROZEN PIZZA. So we had French toast.

So I made them last night. Babboo just licked the meat and sauce off. I ate all of mine! :-)

We make these with bagels, I'll have to try it with English muffins. Sounds yummy. Also, quesadillas are Allison's favorite food in the whole wide world.
