Make crispy, cheesy English muffin pizzas in minutes. This recipe is perfect for a fast lunch, snack, or simple family dinner and is highly customizable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 English muffins, split
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, bell peppers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using an air fryer, set it to 370°F (188°C).
  2. Place the split English muffins, cut-side up, on a baking sheet or directly in the air fryer basket.
  3. Toast the muffin halves lightly for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly crisp. This prevents sogginess.
  4. Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the toasted side of each muffin half.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the Parmesan cheese.
  6. Add your chosen toppings sparingly over the cheese layer.
  7. Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or air fry for 4 to 6 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the edges of the muffin are golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven or air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an Air Fryer Pizza Hack, cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the basket for maximum crispiness.
  • You can prepare these ahead of time: assemble the pizzas completely, place them on a parchment-lined tray, and freeze them before baking. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
  • For a breakfast version, use scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese as toppings.
  • Use this recipe for a fast weeknight dinner when you need a no dough pizza solution.
