English Muffin Pizza

Ingredient
English Muffin
Pizza Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese

Preparation
Cut the English Muffin in Half, spread 1 Tablespoon pizza sauce on each half, then add 1 tablespoon of Mozzarella Cheese to each half.

The whole meal is only 157 calories!!

I love making these! I like to toast mine in the toaster first then add the toppings and put them in the oven on broil! Makes them tasty!!

Make sure to check the different brands of English muffins for the calories. I have used the Fred Meyer brand and also the Albertsons brand and they are both only 110 calories where the Walmart brand is 130 calories just for the muffin.  (if you use Walmart brand add 20 calories)

To make if fun for your kids let them make faces with olives and the pepperoni or any other toppings!
