Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, split
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 English muffins, 1/2 cup pizza sauce, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- While the air fryer is preheating, split the English muffins in half and place them cut-side up on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each half of the English muffins, ensuring an even layer to prevent sogginess.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce on each muffin half, distributing it evenly.
- Top the cheese with pepperoni slices, placing them in a single layer. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your preference for toppings.
- Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over the assembled pizzas for added flavor.
- Carefully place the muffin pizzas in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded; you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the muffin pizzas in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the muffins are golden brown.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the muffin pizzas from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve your air fryer English muffin pizzas hot, and enjoy them as a delicious snack or meal!
Tips
- • Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket - cook in batches for the crispiest results • Use room temperature ingredients for more even melting • Pat pepperoni slices with a paper towel to reduce excess grease • Experiment with different cheeses and toppings for variety • Let pizzas cool for 1-2 minutes after cooking to prevent burning your mouth • For extra crispiness, lightly toast the English muffins before adding toppings • Use parchment paper liners in your air fryer for easier cleanup • Fresh mozzarella can be substituted for shredded for a gourmet twist
