Cook mode

1. Heat the broiler to high. Split the two sourdough English muffins and arrange the four halves cut-side up on a sheet pan. Brush the cut side of each half lightly with 1/4 teaspoon oil.
2. Broil the muffins 3 inches from the heat for 2 minutes until the edges are toasted and the surface begins to dry; watch them closely.2 min
3. Spread about 3 tablespoons marinara sauce on each toasted muffin half. Scatter 1 ounce [28 grams] mozzarella on each, then pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Return to the broiler for 3 minutes until the cheese bubbles and browns at the edges.3 min

Note Swap marinara for pizza sauce or even salsa. Leftovers hold covered in the fridge for one day and reheat under the broiler. Serve with a green salad or a simple arugula toss.
