Ingredients:
- Whole wheat English muffins (look for ones with lower SmartPoints values)
- Tomato sauce or pizza sauce (choose a low-fat, low-sugar option)
- Part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., vegetables, lean meats)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare English Muffins: Split the English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet. If you like a crispy crust, you can lightly toast the muffins in the oven for a few minutes before adding toppings.
- Add Tomato Sauce: Spread a thin layer of tomato or pizza sauce on each English muffin half.
- Sprinkle Cheese: Sprinkle a moderate amount of shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Be mindful of the portion to control SmartPoints.
- Add Toppings: Customize your pizzas with your favorite Weight Watchers-friendly toppings. Consider using vegetables like bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and lean protein options like grilled chicken or turkey pepperoni.
- Bake: Place the topped English muffins in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Broil (Optional): If you want a golden-brown finish on the cheese, you can broil the pizzas for an additional 1-2 minutes, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Serve: Remove the English muffin pizzas from the oven, let them cool for a minute, and then serve.
Notes:
- SmartPoints Consideration: Keep track of the SmartPoints by using appropriate portion sizes and choosing low-fat and low-sugar options for sauce and cheese.
- Vegetarian Option: Make it a vegetarian option by loading up on your favorite veggies.
- Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes to stay within your desired point range.
