English Muffin Pizza

These are so incredibly yummy! You must try them!

Ingredients
·         8 English muffins, split
·         1 cup marinara sauce
·         1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
·         8 slices of pepperoni
Cooking Instructions
1.     Set your oven on broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2.     Lightly toast English muffins.  Place muffins onto prepared baking sheet and top with about 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce. Evenly distribute mozzarella cheese between the muffins and top each with 2 pepperoni slices.
3.     Place under the broiler and broil for about 25-30 seconds or until cheese is slightly brown and bubbly.

Let Your Fridge Help you!

This article is wonderful on how to successfully organize your fridge to help you stay on a healthier diet! Sounds good to me...now if we can only stick to it!  Full article on how to stock your fridge here!

These are freezer friendly, in fact these MUST be frozen before you bake them or you will have one big cheesy mess in your oven! The good news is you can bread them all ahead of time then place them on tray with wax paper and freeze them until you are ready to bake. Make the marinara sauce a day ahead as well.

Calories: 86.8* • Fat: 4.8 g • Protein: 7.4 g • Carb: 3.5 g • Fiber: 0.2 g • Sugar: 0.2
Sodium: 168.6

Ingredients:

  • 12 sticks part-skim, reduced sodium mozzarella string cheese (Sargento)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 5 tbsp Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 5 tbsp panko crumbs
  • 2 tsp parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • olive oil cooking spray (I used my misto)

Directions:

Cut cheese in half to give you 24 pieces. Place cheese in the freezer until cheese is frozen.
In small bowl, whisk the egg. Place the flour on another small dish. In separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, panko, parmesan cheese and dried parsley.Dip the frozen sticks in flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, then coat with the crumbs.
Repeat this process with the remaining cheese placing them on a tray with wax paper. Place cheese back into the freezer until ready to bake (this is a must or they will melt before the crumbs get golden).
When ready to bake preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with oil.Place frozen cheese sticks on baking sheet. Spray the tops of the mozzarella sticks with a little more oil and bake in the bottom third of your oven until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 4 - 5 minutes watching them closely so they don't melt.

Makes 24 pieces.

* There will be extra crumbs and flour after breading, I've deducted them from the nutritional info
