Ingredients

  • 8 slices frozen garlic Texas toast
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 80 mini pepperoni slices
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place four slices of frozen Texas toast into the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping.
  2. Set the air fryer to 360°F and cook the toast for 3 minutes to lightly crisp the bread.
  3. Carefully remove the toast from the basket.
  4. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Top each slice with shredded mozzarella cheese and about 10 mini pepperoni slices.
  6. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or parmesan cheese if desired.
  7. Return the pizzas to the air fryer and reduce the temperature to 300°F.
  8. Cook for 3 minutes until the cheese starts melting.
  9. Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
  10. Carefully remove the mini pizzas and let them cool for 1 minute before serving.
  11. Repeat with the remaining slices if necessary.
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Pre-toasting the bread helps keep the pizzas crispy.
  • Use thick pizza sauce to avoid soggy toast.
  • Freshly shredded mozzarella melts best.
  • Vegetables like mushrooms, peppers, and olives make great toppings.
  • Cook in batches if using a smaller air fryer.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer for best crispiness.
  • Freeze cooled mini pizzas for up to 1 month.
