Made effortlessly in the air fryer, this shortcut recipe delivers crispy edges, a soft, cheesy center, and is ready in under 15 minutes—a perfect solution for after-school bites, game day, or weeknight cravings.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Base

  • 4 slices Texas toast (frozen or fresh, garlic butter-flavored recommended)

For the Sauce & Cheese

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For the Toppings (Optional)

  • 8–12 slices pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup sliced bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer – Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and optimum crispiness for the toast base.
  2. Arrange the Texas Toast – Place Texas toast slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Leave a little space between each so hot air can circulate for an even, crispy finish.
  3. First Bake the Toast – Air fry the Texas toast at 360°F for 3-4 minutes until it’s lightly golden and just beginning to crisp up. This keeps the bread from getting soggy once you add sauce and toppings.
  4. Add Sauce and Toppings – Remove the basket. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on each toast slice, sprinkle generously with mozzarella, and add your favorite toppings.
  5. Air Fry to Finish – Return the topped toast to the air fryer. Cook at 360°F for 3-5 minutes more, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve – Use tongs to transfer pizzas to a plate. Garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil before adding the toast.
  • Keep a close eye in the second cook—the cheese can brown quickly!
  • Customize toppings: try cooked sausage, diced onions, olives, or chopped veggies to your liking.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if your air fryer basket is large enough.
  • If using garlic butter Texas toast, there’s no need for extra seasoning.
