Caprese English Muffin Pizzas

Caprese is the first thing I think of when I think of fresh basil!  Here's a new twist on English muffin pizza... caprese salad style.  These are a delicious, easy weeknight dinner that comes together in a flash!

Servings: 2
Serving Size 2 open-faced English muffin halves
Points Plus: 7pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:
2 English muffins
4 tsp. olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
2 oz. fresh mozzarella
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
Fresh basil

Directions:
Toast the English muffins and lightly brush each half with 1 tsp. olive oil, salt & pepper.  Wash and slice the tomato.  Add tomato slices, fresh basil leaves and top with 1/2 oz. of fresh mozzarella on each English muffin half.  Broil in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese just starts to melt.  Serve immediately!

Tip:
You could also drizzle some balsamic vinegar on these caprese English muffin pizzas.  I'm not a huge fan, so I didn't add any to my version above!
