Pizza Sandwiches Recipe
These pizza sandwiches are made with english muffins. Prepared with cheese and tomato sauce for flavor with added onions, the pizza sandwiches are broiled to serve. Herbed with thyme, they are flavorful and peppy.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup low sodium tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon each dried oregano and basil, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
4 English muffins
3/4 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Preheat the broiler.
In a small heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over moderately low heat for 1 minute; add the onion and garlic and cook, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, basil, and thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, split and toast the muffins.
Sprinkle the 8 toasted muffin halves with half the mozzarella cheese, dividing it evenly.
Place the muffins on the broiler pan and broil, 3 to 4 inches from the heat, for 1 to 2 minutes or just until the cheese has melted.
Spread 1 tablespoon of the tomato mixture on each of the muffin halves, then sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese.
Return the muffins to the broiler and broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Sandwich the muffin halves together, forming 4 pizza sandwiches.
Cool to room temperature, wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate until ready to pack.
