Shamrock Mini Pizzas
Nothing pleases like pizza does ! This saucy , Italian-inspired treat can be prepared almost entirely by kids , and it ’ s great to eat on the go .
Ingredients :
• English muffins
• Pizza sauce ( marinara works fine as a substitute )
• Shredded mozzarella cheese ( cheddar will do in a pinch )
• Green peppers for the “ shamrock leaves ”
• Kitchen scissors
Directions : 1 . Preheat the oven to 375 degrees . 2 . Spread a thin layer of sauce onto each mini pizza crust .
3 . Sprinkle a generous pinch of cheese on top of the sauce , taking care that it doesn ’ t spill off the edges .
4 . Slice the green pepper in half , then use the kitchen scissors to cut out three heart-shaped pieces for each mini pizza plus a stem .
5 . Arrange the pepper pieces atop the cheese in a shamrock shape .
6 . Bake for 10 minutes , or until the cheese starts to bubble and brown .
