Make fast, personal pizzas using English muffins as the base. This recipe focuses on achieving a crispy crust quickly, suitable for a snack, lunch, or easy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 English Muffins
  • 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, cooked sausage, sliced mushrooms)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra crisp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). If using an air fryer, preheat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
  2. Slice each English muffin in half horizontally. You will have four muffin halves.
  3. Lightly brush the cut side of the muffins with olive oil, if using. This helps prevent sogginess.
  4. Place the muffin halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet or directly in the air fryer basket.
  5. Spread one tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the surface of each muffin half.
  6. Top each with mozzarella cheese and your chosen toppings.
  7. **Oven Method:** Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the muffin are golden brown.
  8. **Air Fryer Method:** Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, checking frequently, until the cheese is melted and the muffin edges are crisp.
  9. Remove from the oven or air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the crispiest results, lightly toast the muffin halves in a toaster or dry skillet for 1 minute before adding sauce and toppings.
  • Use thin layers of sauce and toppings to prevent the muffin from becoming soft.
  • You can substitute pizza sauce with pesto or a thin layer of cream cheese for a different flavor profile.
