Grilled Pizza Recipe
When summer strikes, don't let the heat get you down - grill your pizza with fave toppings on top! Whole wheat english muffins are preferable, here.
Ingredients
- Whole Wheat English Muffins I used 3 packages *NOTE: Using Whole Wheat is better than white - white will burn easier.
- Marinara or pizza sauce I used a big, Costco-sized jar
- Favorite pizza toppings I used sausage and pepperoni
- Italian seasoning or a combination of basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary
- Mozzarella cheese shredded
- Parmesan cheese shredded or "sprinkle" (from the shaker)
Tools needed:
- Grill
- Spatula
- Basting brush
- Platter
- Metal cookie sheet or foil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- If your grill has more than one burner, only light a couple burners on LOW heat. (Our grill has 5 burners, we used 2.)
- Separate the halves of your english muffins and toast them gently on the grill open side up by placing them directly on the grill rack. (Do not leave them unattended.)
- Once slightly hardened and toasty, remove from heat immediately; baste with marinara or pizza sauce.
- Place favorite toppings and seasoning on top, finishing with mozzarella cheese.
- Spray your metal cookie sheet or tin foil, and lay onto the grill.
- Place your finished pizzas onto the foil/cookie sheet.
- Close the grill lid and let cook for a couple minutes until cheese is melty, but don't overdo it. (Stay close by)
- Once cheese is melted, take off the grill, placing onto a platter, and serve immediately.
