Description

These Freezer Ready Mini Pizzas are a quick and convenient homemade meal perfect for busy days. Using English muffins as the base, topped with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and finely chopped salad bar vegetables, they freeze well and bake up crisp and melty in just minutes. Ideal for easy lunches or snacks, these mini pizzas can be prepared in advance, frozen, and baked anytime for a delicious, customizable treat.

Ingredients

Base

  • 6 English Muffins ($1.99)

Toppings

  • 3/4 cup pizza sauce ($0.65)
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella ($1.50)
  • Salad Bar Vegetables, finely chopped ($1.17)

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheets: Line two small baking sheets with foil or parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup. You may prepare one sheet at a time if preferred, freezing the second batch the following day.
  2. Assemble mini pizzas: Slice the English muffins open and arrange them cut side up on the baking sheets. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over each muffin half, then sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella on top.
  3. Add vegetables and freeze: Chop salad bar vegetables into very small pieces to distribute evenly. Divide them among the pizzas, pressing lightly to help compact toppings so they stay in place while freezing. Cover the baking sheets tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for about 8 hours until the pizzas are solid.
  4. Store pizzas: Once frozen solid, carefully transfer the mini pizzas into gallon-sized freezer bags for long-term storage, using two bags if needed. For optimal flavor and quality, consume within 3 months.
  5. Bake from frozen: When ready to eat, remove desired number of pizzas and place them on a baking sheet. Allow to partially thaw while preheating the oven to 400ºF (about 7 minutes). Once fully preheated, bake the pizzas for about 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown and cheese is melted. Adjust baking time based on oven performance and topping quantity.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite vegetables or meats.
  • Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
  • Partial thawing before baking ensures even cooking and a crisp crust.
  • Store pizzas separately to avoid sticking together in the freezer.
  • Check pizzas halfway through baking and rotate the pan if necessary for even browning.
