Crispy Air Fryer Wonton Pizza
Make a delicious, perfectly crisp pizza in just 15 minutes using an air fryer and wonton wrappers, topped with savory sausage, fresh tomatoes, and an egg bind.
When a pizza craving hits but you dont have the time to make or proof dough, wonton wrappers are an ingenious shortcut. Layered in an air fryer, they create a shatteringly crisp crust. A seasoned egg wash acts as a binder, melting into the cheese to hold the savory sausage, mushrooms, and bursting cherry tomatoes perfectly together.
Ingredients
- 2-3 button mushrooms
- 1 sausage link
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 8-10 wonton wrappers
- to coat cooking oil spray
- 2 eggs
- to taste salt and black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Instructions
- 1Slice the mushrooms
Begin by cleaning your fresh mushrooms and placing them on a wooden cutting board. Carefully slice them into thin, even pieces to ensure they cook quickly and evenly in the air fryer.
Tip: Wipe the mushrooms with a damp paper towel instead of rinsing them under water to prevent them from absorbing excess moisture. - 2Slice the sausage
Take your sausage link and carefully slice it into small, uniform rounds on a cutting board. These pieces will serve as a savory topping for your pizza.
Tip: Using a sharp knife makes it easier to get even, consistent slices for even cooking. - 3Prepare the tomatoes
Take the fresh cherry tomatoes and cut each one in half. These will provide a burst of juicy flavor to your simple pizza.
Tip: A serrated knife is excellent for cutting through the skin of cherry tomatoes without squashing them. - 4Prepare the pizza base
Line the basket of your air fryer with a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Carefully lay down the wonton wrappers, overlapping them slightly to form a continuous crust for your pizza.
Tip: Make sure the parchment paper doesnt fold over the ingredients, as the circulating air might blow it onto the heating element. - 5Oil the wrappers
Lightly coat the layered wonton wrappers with cooking spray. This will help them crisp up beautifully in the air fryer and create a sturdy, golden base for your pizza toppings.
Tip: An olive oil or avocado oil spray works best for achieving an even, light coating without making the wrappers soggy. - 6Add the toppings
Begin assembling your pizza by evenly distributing the cherry tomato halves, sliced mushrooms, and sausage rounds over the oiled wonton wrappers in the air fryer basket.
Tip: Spread the toppings evenly in a single layer to ensure everything cooks uniformly. - 7Add the egg mixture
Crack two eggs into a small bowl, whisk them thoroughly, and slowly pour the mixture over the pizza toppings you have arranged in the air fryer basket.
Tip: Whisk the eggs until no streaks of egg white remain for a uniform texture. - 8Season the pizza
Lightly sprinkle some salt and pepper over the top of the egg and ingredient mixture to enhance the flavors of the pizza.
Tip: Adjust the seasoning to your personal preference, keeping in mind that some sausage varieties can be quite salty. - 9Add the cheese
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the entire pizza assembly, covering the ingredients completely to ensure a nice melt.
Tip: Using a blend of cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar can provide both great melt and extra flavor.
