Delicious Bacon and Tomato English Muffin Pizza is also a perfect dish to serve that special Mom on Mother's Day. It's so easy even kids can make it!
I’m sure you have had English Muffin Pizzas before that were just so-so. But, before you dismiss this idea, please try this yummy combination of crunchy English muffins, pesto, fresh tomatoes, crispy bacon and gooey melted mozzarella cheese. Of course, the sky is the limit with pizza toppings and you can certainly substitute your favorite toppings for the bacon and tomato, but at least, try it with the pesto instead pizza sauce. You won’t believe how much it elevates the flavor of the pizza. Speaking of pesto, if you are not already a fan of pesto, you should give it a try. It is a versatile condiment that can be used in almost any dish, particularly pasta dishes, or soups or stews to give them another layer of flavor. I always keep a jar in my pantry, but you can also buy refrigerated pesto or even make your own.
