Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 8 slices frozen garlic Texas toast
- ½ cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16 slices pepperoni (or your favorite toppings)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
- Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat your air fryer:
Set your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3 minutes. Preheating ensures your toast gets extra crispy on the bottom.
2. Toast the Texas toast:
Place the garlic toast slices in the air fryer basket (no need to thaw). Cook for 3 minutes to start crisping them up. This prevents sogginess once toppings are added.
3. Add the sauce:
Remove the toast from the air fryer. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each slice and spread it evenly.
4. Add cheese and toppings:
Top each slice with shredded mozzarella and two slices of pepperoni. Feel free to add more toppings like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers.
5. Season:
Sprinkle oregano and black pepper over the top. Add red pepper flakes if you like it spicy.
6. Final air fry:
Return the topped toast slices to the air fryer. Cook for 4–5 more minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Tips for Best Results:
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer — cook in batches if needed.
- Use thick-sliced Texas toast for a sturdy, crunchy base.
- Customize it — try barbecue sauce, buffalo chicken, or even veggie toppings.
Storage & Reheating:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness.Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
