Directions
- 1. Preheat the broiler on high and move the rack to the upper third of the oven.
- 2. Cut the English muffins in half and place the cut sides down on a baking sheet. Broil for about 2 minutes, flipping once, until they are toasted. Remove from the oven.
- 3. In a small bowl, crumble the goat cheese.
- 4. Rinse the grape tomatoes, dry, and cut each in half lengthwise.
- 5. Spread each toasted muffin half with pesto, then top with crumbled cheese and tomato halves. Season with salt and black pepper.
- 6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil briefly until the toppings are warmed through, about 1–2 minutes.
- 7. Transfer the pizzas to plates and serve.
Two tips
- Make-ahead: crumble the cheese and halve the tomatoes up to 30 minutes before assembling.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; reheat briefly under the broiler before serving.
