Try chopping the pepperoni up into mini pieces. That way you'll feel like you're devouring 2 little pizza pies loaded with pepperoni!
1 light English muffin
¼ cup shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese
8 pieces (about ½ ounce) turkey pepperoni
2 tablespoons canned tomato sauce
Optional: salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, etc.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Season tomato sauce, to taste, with any of the optional ingredients. Split English muffin in half and spread sauce on both halves.
Evenly sprinkle cheese over the 2 halves and then top with pepperoni. Place muffin halves on a baking pan sprayed lightly with nonstick spray and cook for 12 to 14 minutes.
Season as you would a regular slice of pie!

Slim Down Your Pizza Slice! How to handle the real deal . . . Order it cheese-less (if you dare!). Choose thin crust instead of thick and you'll save countless calories per slice! Blot your pizza before chomping into it and you'll eliminate dozens of calories and plenty of fat. Opt for veggie toppings instead of meats (and no, friedeggplant doesn't count!). |
