Make quick, cheesy, and crispy English Muffin Pizzas in under 15 minutes. This easy recipe works in the oven or air fryer, making it a perfect budget friendly pizza hack for busy weeknight meals or kid friendly dinner ideas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 English Muffins, split
  • 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Pepperoni slices (optional)
  • Your favorite toppings (mushrooms, peppers, olives)
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil (for air fryer method)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the split English muffins cut-side up on a baking sheet or directly in the air fryer basket.
  3. Lightly toast the muffins for 2-3 minutes if you prefer a crispier base.
  4. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the cut side of each muffin half.
  5. Top each muffin half with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni or vegetables.
  7. Oven Method: Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly browned.
  8. Air Fryer Method: Lightly brush the tops with olive oil if desired. Cook for 4-6 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted and golden.
  9. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly before serving your fast lunch ideas or snack attack.

Notes

  • For freezer friendly pizza snack preparation, assemble the pizzas completely (sauce, cheese, toppings) but do not cook. Place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
  • Use whole wheat English muffins for a slightly healthier base.
  • Let kids build their own mini pizzas for a fun activity.
