English Muffin Pizzas...Quickie Lunch

Dad's English Muffin Pizzas
 
These are great for a quick lunch with a small salad on the side. Takes about 25 minutes total time
 Ingredients
  • 6 English muffin halves
  • 1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese, packed
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thin
  • 3/4 cup diced ham
  • A pinch of chopped fresh sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon stoneground mustard
  • Optional: slices of fresh tomato

Method

1 Preheat oven to 425°F.
2 Melt butter in a medium skillet on medium high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the diced ham, cook 5 minutes more. Mix in the sage and mustard. Remove from heat.
3 Put muffin halves, open side up on a sturdy baking pan. Distribute the cheese evenly, sprinkling over the muffin halves. Put the onion ham mixture on top of the cheese. If you want to use tomato slices, layer them between the cheese and onion mixture.
4 Bake at 425°F for 8-9 minutes, until the muffins and toppings are nicely browned, but not burned.


 The kids loved these when I made them and I had to whip up some more in a hurry. It's a 'can't fail' lunch. You'll be a hero in your own kitchen.

  2. Hi Nita
    I have been asked by two moms of schoolaged children to find lunch options that the kids will eat.
    They have an hour to come home eat and get back to school and they get so bored with soup and sandwiches. If you know of any other quick recipes I would love to know about them.

    Thankyou for the comment Nita...jeannie
