FOR BAKING
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the english muffins on the baking sheet, cut side up. Place in the oven for 4-5 minutes, or until they become slightly toasted.
Combine the vegan cream cheese & non-dairy half & half in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
Remove the english muffins from the oven. Spread a spoonful of marinara on each english muffin followed by the vegan cream cheese mixture, pepperoni & serrano pepper. Sprinkle with oregano and place back in the oven for 10-15 minutes - depending on how crispy you like it.
Remove from the oven, add fresh basil and serve!
FOR AIR FRYING
Place the english muffins in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 2 minutes.
Combine the vegan cream cheese & non-dairy half & half in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
Remove the english muffins from the air fryer. Spread a spoonful of marinara on each english muffin followed by the vegan cream cheese mixture, pepperoni & serrano pepper. Sprinkle with oregano and place back in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes - depending on how crispy you like it.
Remove from the air fryer, add fresh basil and serve!
*Check out the blog post to read about where I typically buy vegan english muffins. I suggest using whole wheat, if possible, since they hold their shape better.
**You can typically find this in the coffee creamer section of the store. If you need to use non-dairy milk instead, only use 1 tbsp.
