🍕 Air Fryer Pepperoni Pizza Crumpets

Hey air fryer addict,

This one’s short, sweet, and seriously snackable. Toasty crumpet bases loaded with melty cheese, tangy sauce, and sizzling pepperoni — all made in the air fryer with zero oven faff.

Perfect for lazy lunches, midnight cravings, or when you want a pizza fix in under 10.

🧺 You’ll need (makes 4):

• 4 crumpets

• 3 tbsp pizza sauce or passata

• 60g grated mozzarella

• 40g grated cheddar

• 12–16 slices pepperoni

• ½ tsp dried oregano

• Optional: chilli flakes, chopped basil, parmesan

👩‍🍳 How to make it:

1. Lightly toast your crumpets in the toaster — this helps keep the bottoms crispy and prevents sogginess.

2. Spread each one with a generous spoonful of pizza sauce, making sure it gets into those glorious crumpet holes.

3. Top with mozzarella + cheddar, followed by pepperoni slices. Sprinkle with oregano and chilli flakes if you’re feeling spicy.

4. Pop them into your air fryer basket (lined with parchment or a silicone liner for easy clean-up).

5. Air fry at 180°C for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, golden, and lightly crispy on the edges.

6. Garnish with basil or parmesan, and devour immediately while molten and melty.
