Coincidentally I made English muffin pizzas twice in the past week, just because I had the muffins. Instead of heating the oven, I toasted the muffins, then put the toppings on & stuck them in the microwave for a bit. They made a nice, quick lunch.

I'll try these out on my kids. I haven't used ham before, and I usually use a jar of Ragu for a quick lunch.
