Happy MONDAY! Popping in with a personal pumpkin pizza “recipe” to share with you for the season – spoiler alert: she’s DELICIOUS. I first found this easy pumpkin pizza idea in Olivia’s Highlights magazine of the month and thought it looked equal parts cute + attainable as a kid-friendly meal that didn’t take an obscene amount of time to prepare. For as cute as some Instagram-friendly kid meals are, I just don’t have time to cut out 32 eyeballs or wings to make a zoo of edible creatures on any given Tuesday. Ya feel? These personal pumpkin pizzas are quick, simple, and yummy for all; I ate three myself after filming the Instagram Reel tutorial (coming today – stay tuned!). Printable recipe below for reference – ENJOY!
INGREDIENTS:
- English Muffins
- Your favorite pizza sauce
- Your favorite shredded cheese (we lovelovelove Tillamook!)
- 2 orange bell peppers
- 1 green bell pepper
These could not be simpler, which I lovelovelove! First, halve your English muffins and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Next, put a dollop of pizza sauce in the center of each muffin half – spread it out evenly. Sprinkle your shredded cheese on top of that.
Slice your orange bell pepper; you should have pieces that curve at the ends. For each personal pumpkin pizza, I used about 5 pepper slices; two needed curvier ends to be the curves of the pumpkin, while one shorter or straighter piece went in the middle.
Chop your green bell pepper into smaller bits – these will be your pumpkin pizza stems!
That’s it for assembly – bake for about 20 minutes at 350, or until your english muffins are golden brown and cheese is toasted. We then set to BROIL for about 2 minutes (but always watch it on broil so it doesn’t burn!) to get the cheese bubbly and peppers toasted through. THAT’S IT!
