Step 6: Place pizzas on your favorite pizza pan and bake for 10-15 minutes. Don't forget to use the remaining cheese as a topper before putting the pizzas in the oven.

Step 7: You now have your own meat pizza and vegetable pizza. Serve with your favorite vegetables for a complete meal that is healthy and delicious.

Tips:

Toast the muffin before making pizza to enhance crunch factor. The baking provides some crunch, but pre-toasting really gives the recipe a pizza feel.

Adding the cheese as the first ingredient helps ensure an even melting. It also makes the pizza less messy for eating.
