Description
A delicious and easy recipe for mini pepperoni pizza toast made with garlic Texas toast and topped with gooey mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni.
Ingredients
- 8 slices garlic Texas toast
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 80 slices mini pepperoni
Instructions
-
Prepare the Toast
Place Texas toast slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed. Tip: Space between slices helps the bread crisp evenly.
-
Lightly Toast
Air fry at 360°F for 3 minutes until lightly crisped but not browned. Tip: This builds structure before adding toppings.
-
Add Sauce
Spread 1–2 spoonfuls of pizza sauce on each slice. Tip: Too much sauce can soften the toast.
-
Add Cheese and Pepperoni
Top with mozzarella and mini pepperoni slices. Tip: Press toppings gently into the cheese.
-
Melt the Cheese
Lower temperature to 300°F and cook 3 minutes until cheese melts. Tip: Lower heat keeps cheese smooth and stretchy.
-
Finish with High Heat
Increase to 400°F and cook 2 minutes until bubbly and golden. Tip: Watch closely to prevent over-browning.
-
Serve Hot
Remove and serve immediately while cheese is melty.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Experiment with different toppings for customization.
