How long do they keep?

Any leftover English muffin breakfast pizzas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for around 3 days. They can be reheated in the oven or toasted oven until warmed through.

It’s best not to reheat them in. amicrowave as they can get soggy this way.

Can you freeze them?

These muffins are perfect for meal prep, and freezing is the best method.

Toast your muffin halves and top them as directed. Instead of cooking them at this point, freeze them solid on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag or contianer. They will keep well for up to 3 months.

Cook the muffins right from frozen in a preheated oven at 375F for around 15 minutes until heated through.

How do you stop the muffins from getting soggy?

It’s key to lightly toast the muffins before adding any of the toppings. This toasted layer acts as a barrier and stops any moisture from moving down through the muffin.

As tempting as it is, don’t overload the toppings either!

Tips!

• Easily make these gluten free by using gluten free english muffins!
• You will have a little leftover gravy- use to spoon over pizzas for extra flavor, make extra pizzas, or spoon over biscuits or toast. You can also freeze it for later use.

These cheesy English muffin breakfast pizza recipe is ideal for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner! I love that they can be cooked right from frozen too, so perfect for those busy mornings!
