Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and pour about 2 teaspoons of Yo Mama’s Pizza Sauce into each bite. Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on top.

Let cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and serve hot.

pro tips
For the best texture, reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving. The edges will be perfectly crispy, but the cheese will remain runny in the center.
