Scale
- 4 English muffins
- Olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Brush the English muffins with olive oil on the cut side and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each with a pinch of garlic powder and kosher salt. Bake cut side up for 6 to 7 minutes until lightly crisp and golden brown.
- While the English muffins bake, prepare the toppings: thinly slice the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle each with a pinch of salt, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Chop the basil. Prepare any other toppings (if using, finely dice the bell peppers and red onion).

- Bake the English muffins 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is melted. Add the chopped basil or basil leaves. Eat immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 1 to 2 days and reheated in the oven.
