Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Preheat the oven to 190 °C (175 °C fan) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Place the muffin halves cut-side up on the tray, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
Bake for 5-6 minutes until the edges are toasted, so the pizza base doesn't go soggy.
Spread about 2 tbsp pizza sauce on each, top with the frankfurter slices, sprinkle with the cheddar and mozzarella, and season with oregano.
Return to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Cool for 2 minutes and serve warm.

Tips

Pre-toasting the muffin stops the sauce from soaking in, so the base stays crisp.
Spread the sauce thinly, or the pizza gets watery.
Instead of frankfurters you can use pepperoni, ham, mushrooms or sweetcorn.
Half-baked pizzas can be frozen; bake from frozen for 5 minutes longer.
