Air Fryer English Muffin Pizzas

You are going to love making little english muffin pizzas in the air fryer! It’s a quick and easy way to cook up something yummy in just a matter of minutes and your kids will love them! In fact, the kids will love whipping these together with you.

It’s a fantastic simple recipe! By using english muffins all the work is basically done. So there is no messy sticky dough to work with or even an oven to turn on! I typically use mozzarella like most pizza and marinara, but you can use any type of cheese and tomato sauce you like. I sometimes even use leftover alfredo sauce or homemade tomato sauce.

To make these, all you have to do is spread some sauce and sprinkle some cheese on an english muffin. Then literally 4 minutes later you have ready to eat english muffin mini pizza. Easy peasy pizza perfection!

 

How To Make English Muffin Pizzas In The Air Fryer

You only need three ingredients to make these simple air fryer english muffin pizzas! Obviously, one is the muffins. I like to use Thomas’ but any brand will work perfectly and the directions are exactly the same. Here is what you need:

• English Muffins
• Shredded Cheese
• Tomato Sauce

Start by heating up your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit if needed. You’ll need to check the manual of your air fryer to see if this step is necessary. It depends on the model you are using. So if you don’t need to preheat then you can just move on to the next step.

Next, split an english muffin in half and place it on a plate. Then spread both halves with tomato sauce and sprinkle them with cheese. You can add your other favorite toppings at this point if you like.

Now, place the 2 halves flat in the air fryer basket.

Then put the basket into the air fry to cook for 4 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the air fryer is done cooking remove the english muffin pizzas and enjoy! 

Cooking Tips

• You must cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for the best crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
• Let the air fryer english muffin pizzas cool for a minute before serving kids. Hot cheese can burn.
• Don’t crowd the air fryer. It’s better to cook larger amounts in batches.

What to Serve with Air Fryer English Muffin Pizzas

English muffin air fryer pizzas are a snack or meal all on their own. But sometimes you may want to add a side for a more complete meal. Like any pizza these pair well with a salad or nice soup. Here are some of my favorites.

• Zucchini And Radish Salad
• Lentil Spinach Soup In The Instant Pot
• Shrimp Salad With Egg  And Avocado
