4 English muffins
1 fresh pepper
6 cherry tomatoes
4 button mushrooms
4 slices of turkey or ham
6-8 tbsp grated cheese
8 tbsp tomato sauce (chopped tinned tomatoes, passata, leftover pasta sauce and tomato puree will all work well)
1 tsp dried herbs (oregano and basil work well)
Knife
Chopping board
Grater
Oven tray
Grill
Mini pizzas
Grate cheese, finely slice ham/turkey or protein of choice. Wash, peel and finely chop the vegetables.
If needed, prepare tomato sauce by heating sauce of choice and adding a pinch of dried herbs for added flavour.
Lay out the sliced muffins, place the bottom side under the grill until golden brown. Remove from the grill, on the non-cooked side, spread on tomato sauce, cheese and vegetables of choice.
Place back under the grill until the cheese is bubbling (around 5 mins).
Remove from the grill and enjoy! Ensure cheese has cooled down before feeding to young children.
- The quantities used here will make enough to serve 4 adults.
- Service mini pizzas alongside salad such as cucumber sticks and chopped pepper.
- Cut into slices to serve as finger food for older babies.
- Instead of turkey or ham slices, you could also add leftover chicken, tuna, or meat substitutes.
- You could use sliced bread, pitta bread, crumpets or mini tortilla wraps too!
- Get the children involved with choosing their toppings and decorating their own pizzas.
- These can be stored in the fridge and eaten the next day.
