🥘 Ingredients
Toasted Bread: be sure to buy bread that is sturdy and thick so it will hold up to the pizza sauce and toppings.
Pizza sauce: I love this homemade pizza sauce recipe
Mozzarella cheese: I like to use part-skim mozzarella
Pepperoni: I prefer turkey pepperoni over regular pepperoni because it has less grease.
Fresh basil: optional but adds a touch of freshness and flavor.
🔪 Instructions
- Place a slice of toast on an air fryer tray. Spread 1-2 tablespoons pizza sauce on each slice of toast.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese on top of pizza sauce.
- Arrange each slice of toast with pepperoni, if desired.
- Place tray in air fryer and air fry for 5 minutes, until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
- Remove pizza toasts from air fryer and sprinkle with fresh basil (if using).
🥄 Equipment
Air fryer, oven, or toaster oven
Tablespoon: for spreading the sauce over top of the toasted bread.
🥫Storage
Refrigerate: store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
Reheat: warm in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes, until warm.
📖 Variations
- You can substitute an English muffin, sourdough bread, french bread, or focaccia bread for the bread slices.
- Use mini pepperoni to allow room for more of your favorite toppings.
- Sprinkle pizza toast with crushed red pepper or grated parmesan cheese before serving.
💭 Tips
- Bake these pizza toasts in the oven or toaster oven instead of the air fryer, just lightly toast the bread in the toaster, then place on a baking sheet with toppings and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted and edges of toast are golden brown.
