The ingredients are mine; however, you could add anything you like… just don’t make it too sloppy, or it will be hard to eat. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make sandwich essentials: english muffin pizza sandwich
-
Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
-
Step 3Add the Italian sausage to a sauté pan over medium heat.
-
Step 4Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through.
-
Step 5Remove from pan, drain on paper towels, and reserve.
-
Step 6Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 425f (220c).
-
Step 7Toast the bun, and lay the two pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Step 8Add the tomato sauce to the bottom half.
-
Step 9Add the Italian sausage.
-
Step 10Add the mozzarella cheese.
-
Step 11Add the pepperoni.
-
Step 12Add the other cheese to the top half.
-
Step 13Chef’s Note: I also added a slice of Canadian bacon to mine. Can you say: Meat Lovers.
-
Step 14Slide into the oven, and bake until the cheese melts, and begins to bubble.
-
Step 15Add the lettuce, and the tomato slice.
-
Step 16Chef’s Tip: A lot of things are playing out when we eat our food: smells, textures, flavors, and even temperature. You might ask why I didn’t cook the tomato slice with the sandwich, and the answer is that I wanted layers of flavor, and layers of temperature. Things as simple as varying the temperature of your combined ingredients, can make or break a recipe.
