🍕🔥 Air Fryer Pizza Toast
Crispy, cheesy, and ready in minutes—pizza toast is basically mini personal pizzas made on bread. Perfect for quick snacks or lazy dinners.
🛒 Ingredients (makes 2–4 slices):
- 2–4 slices bread (thick sandwich bread works best)
- ¼–½ cup pizza sauce or marinara
- 1–1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8–12 slices pepperoni (or cooked chicken, veggies, etc.)
- 1 tsp olive oil or butter (optional, for crispier edges)
Optional toppings:
- Bell peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms
- Chili flakes or oregano
- Parmesan cheese
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prep bread
Lightly brush bread with olive oil or butter (optional but gives a crispier base).
2. Add sauce
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each slice. Don’t overload or it may get soggy.
3. Add toppings
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously.
Add pepperoni or your favorite toppings. Finish with a pinch of oregano or chili flakes.

Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place pizza toast in a single layer.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until:
- Cheese is melted and bubbly
- Edges are golden and crisp
5. Serve
Let cool for 1–2 minutes, then slice and enjoy.
