Ingredients
Scale
- 4 English muffins, split
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices (or other toppings)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the English muffins by splitting each one in half. Lightly toast the muffin halves in a toaster or toaster oven until slightly crisp.
- Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with cooking spray.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the cut side of each muffin half.
- Top each muffin half with mozzarella cheese and your desired toppings, such as pepperoni. Sprinkle with dried oregano.
- Place the prepared muffin halves in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the edges of the muffin are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
- For oven cooking, place assembled pizzas on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes.
- This recipe is freezer-friendly. Assemble the pizzas completely, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Transfer frozen pizzas to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen in the air fryer, adding 2-3 minutes to the cook time.
- Customize your toppings: Try cooked sausage, sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or use pesto instead of pizza sauce for a different flavor profile.
