Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the English muffin halves on an ungreased baking sheet (I line mine with aluminum foil for easy cleanup). Top each muffin with 1/4 cup of the diced tomatoes and sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese. Bake for 5 minutes (or until cheese is melted and lightly browned). While the “pizzas” bake, make the tomato topping.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with the oil and herbs (except the fresh basil). Once hot, add the tomatoes in one layer. Give the pan a shake to move the tomatoes around a little. Add the pinch of salt. Once the tomatoes are just beginning to soften, add a splash of balsamic vinegar and give the pan another few shakes, then remove the tomatoes to a plate to keep warm, and set them aside. (This process should only take a few minutes, the tomatoes are only being slightly cooked).
- Take the pizzas out of the oven and top each a few slices of the cooked tomatoes. Garnish with sliced basil leaves and fresh ground black pepper.

Notes
For a crispy crust, toast the English muffins lightly before adding the toppings. This will ensure that your pizza stays firm and doesn't become soggy. Trust me, the extra step is worth it for that perfect crunch! Try it out and let us know how it elevates your English Muffin Pizza experience.
