Easy Meatless Mini Pizzas with Spinach and Mushrooms

 

For This Recipe You Will Need:

• 1/4 Bag Fresh Spinach 
• Fresh Mushrooms (small pkg)
• 1/2 Yellow Onion (chopped)
• Fresh Garlic Clove (chopped fine)
• 2 tsp Olive Oil or Canola Oil
• Bag Mozzarella Cheese Grated
• Some Parmesan Powdered Cheese 
• Jar Pizza Sauce (I used Great Value Brand Pizza Sauce from Walmart)
• English Muffins Pkg. (sliced in half)
• Sprinkle Garlic Powder
• Sprinkle Onion Powder
• Sprinkle Salt and Pepper
• Extra Oil for spraying tops of English Muffins

Note: Makes 8 Mini Pizzas.  Ingredients will vary based on the number of these you need for your family size and the amount of topping you like on your mini pizzas. (two of these usually fill us up and the rest is saved for leftovers, we reheat them up in the oven the next day and they are good. 

Preheat Oven to 400 degrees

Line a large pan with foil and then parchment paper for easy cleanup 

Place English muffins on the foil and parchment paper lined pan, lightly spray tops of muffins with oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and onion powder, cook for 8-10 minutes until light brown.  Set aside.

Reduce Oven to 350 degrees 

In a large skillet add oil, mushrooms and onion, sprinkle of salt and pepper, garlic powder and onion powder, cook on medium heat until soft, stirring occasionally. After softened and cooked to the degree of doneness you prefer, (I like everything nice and soft and slightly browned).  Add the spinach, and if needed a little bit of about 1/8 cup of water, and cover and cook stirring occasionally until done, it won't take long, I  just cook it until it's shriveled up looking a little bit, and tender.  Add the chopped garlic clove and cook another minute or two. Set mixture aside. This is your topping for the mini pizzas. 

When it's done, it will look like the photo below.

Now add the pizza sauce to the tops of the English Muffins,

Top with cheese

You'll do this step with the muffins on the pan, I don't know why I moved these to a plate for the photo shoot, but I did, and I didn't take another photo of them on the pan, lol! moving on...

Next, add the cooked topping over the cheese

The amount you use will vary more or less based on your taste preference, you can sprinkle the tops with garlic powder if desired

Cook in oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and desired crispness of the English Muffins. 

I forgot to get a picture of these on a plate!  

Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired.

Note: This recipe can be varied in so many different ways, by adding ground beef, pepperoni or other toppings to suit your taste and it is easy and good. And cleanup is easy too.  

Enjoy!
