Make these fun, crispy English Muffin Pizzas in under 15 minutes. They are perfect for a fast lunch, after-school snack, or a simple weeknight dinner the whole family will enjoy. This recipe is highly customizable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 English Muffins, split in half
  • 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce (Marinara or your favorite variety)
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, peppers)
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil (optional, for crispier edges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you are using an air fryer, preheat to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the English muffin halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. If you want extra crispiness, lightly brush the edges with olive oil.
  3. Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the surface of each muffin half.
  4. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce on all the muffin halves.
  5. Add your desired toppings over the cheese.
  6. For the oven: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the muffins are golden brown.
  7. For the air fryer: Cook in a single layer for 4 to 6 minutes, checking halfway through, until the cheese is melted and the muffin is toasted.
  8. Remove from the oven or air fryer, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a great option for busy families, these are excellent for meal planning. Assemble the pizzas completely (sauce, cheese, toppings) but do not bake. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 3-5 minutes to the cook time.
  • If you are looking for alternatives to traditional pizza, consider using these as a base for a breakfast pizza by adding scrambled eggs and bacon.
  • If you need a gluten-free option, simply substitute regular English muffins with your favorite gluten-free variety. This makes it easy to follow a keto meal plan delivery style if you adjust toppings.
