mini pizza muffins | english muffin pizza air fryer

English muffin pizzas are a quick air fryer snack made by lightly toasting split muffins, then adding pizza sauce, cheese and your choice of toppings. Toasting the muffin first helps the cut side stay crisp instead of turning soft under the sauce.

This method works well for a small batch because each muffin half becomes an individual mini pizza. For plain toasted muffins without the pizza toppings, see my air fryer English muffins.
