Quick Caprese Mini Pizzas

This recipe is quick and easy to both make and clean-up!






Ingredients:

1 English Muffin
1 Jar Pesto Spread (you won't use the whole jar!)
1 Heirloom Tomato 
1/2 Onion (any color will work)
2 String Cheese Sticks (preferably mozzarella) 
Salt
Papper


let's start cooking!




Pre-heat your oven to the Broil setting or 500 degrees. 

Line a cookie sheet with a piece of aluminum foil.
Take your English Muffin and slice it. You may slice it in half for thick crust or thirds for thinner crust. I sliced mine in thirds.




Take the Pesto Spread and spread a layer onto each of the English Muffin slices. You may use as much or as little as you like. I used about 2 to 3 Tablespoons for each slice. 


After you put Pesto Spread on each slice, place each of the slices onto the cookie sheet.

Wash and then thinly slice your Heirloom Tomatoes.



Place the thinly sliced Heirloom Tomato slices onto each of the English Muffin mini pizzas. Put about 3 to 4 tomatoes onto each English Muffin. (You may have extra tomatoes, save them for another recipe or a snack, Heirloom Tomatoes are great raw!)

Next, slice your onions and place them onto each of the English Muffin mini pizzas. 


Now take your string cheese out of the packaging and slice into tiny circles, like shown below!


Add as much cheese as you would like to each of your mini pizzas.



Slide the cookie sheet of mini pizzas into the oven. It is perfectly alright if the oven is not fully preheated, the pizzas will still cook! 


Place the mini pizzas into the oven for about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to check on them after 5 minutes. The pizzas pictured below are not done yet, you want the cheese to start to bubble and get golden brown on the edges.

These pizzas are done! Take them out of the oven and let cool for 4 or 5 minutes.


While they are cooling, clean up!



Take the foil and crumble it into a ball, be sure to not drop any crumbs! Clean up is easy-peezy!





Now Enjoy your Caprese Mini Pizzas!!!
