Ingredients
- 3 English muffins, split
- 1/2 cup thick pizza sauce
- 4 oz (115 g) mozzarella, cut into thin strips
- 12 small pieces of black olive
Method
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Put muffin halves cut-side up on a baking tray and toast for 3 minutes.
- Spread each half with sauce. Arrange mozzarella strips across each like loose bandages, leaving a small space for two olive eyes.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes more, until cheese melts and edges are lightly golden.
- Cool briefly before serving. Cut into pieces appropriate for the child eating them.
Make Ahead
Up to 1 day ahead: cut the mozzarella strips and olive pieces and refrigerate. Toast and assemble just before baking.
Storage and Reheating
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers covered up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat at 375°F for 5 to 7 minutes or in a toaster oven.
