Today on Cooking With Kids, we are going to make mini cheese pizzas. My three-year-old son made these almost entirely by himself. It was a big confidence booster for him since this is probably the first time he has made something without me hovering over him. Plus, who doesn’t like mini pizzas? They are delicious.

Start with whole wheat English muffins. Slice them in half and lay them out face up. Have your child spoon the pizza sauce (or marinara) on the English muffins, and spread it out with the back of the spoon.

Next, top the pizza sauce with shredded mozzarella cheese. You can also add any toppings you like. William is a big fan of cheese pizza, so we kept it simple.

Lastly, place your mini cheese pizzas in a toaster oven or standard oven preheated to 350 degrees. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Enjoy immediately.

If you are more of a visual person, you can check out this video of William making the mini cheese pizzas. As long as you don’t mind amateur vidoegraphy skills from an iPhone. 🙂

  9. Love english muffin pizza. We also make tuna melts on them as well. The kids love to help out with them. I would just recommend turning your phone when you video. Its easier to watch on your phone and tablet when it the other way. PS, he’s super cute. Happy Holidays
