Lunchbox
10 min prep
10 min cook
4 serves
1.5 serves of veg
0.25 serves of fruit
  • 4 wholemeal English muffins*, cut in half
  • ½ cup tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 225g canned pineapple pieces in juice, drained
  • ¼ red onion, finely diced
  • 1 green capsicum, diced
  • 4 button mushrooms, diced
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese

 

*To make gluten free, replace the wholemeal English muffin with a gluten free English muffin alternative.

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Place the English muffins on the baking tray. Using a spoon, spread the tomato paste evenly across the English muffin halves. Sprinkle the dried oregano across the top of the English muffins.
  3. Place the pineapple, red onion, green capsicum and mushrooms evenly across the eight halves. Top with the grated cheese.
  4. Cook in oven for 10 minutes, or until browned and the cheese is melted.

Serving Suggestion: Vegetables can be swapped for other vegetables you may have on hand such as zucchini, red capsicum, olives, spinach, tomato and fresh basil.

Storage: Mini vegetarian pizzas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.

Kids in the kitchen tips: Depending on your child’s age and skill, they can help spread the tomato paste on each half of the muffin base, select their favourite vegetables to add, sprinkle the cheese on the top.
