Serving Suggestions
I love serving my Texas Toast Air Fryer Pizza with a crisp side salad. The freshness of the greens complements the richness of the cheesy pizza perfectly. A simple Italian salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar is always a hit!
If I’m feeling a little extra, I might whip up some garlic knots or cheesy breadsticks on the side. The more the merrier, right? It turns a casual pizza night into a full-blown feast.
And of course, no pizza evening is complete without a dipping sauce! I usually whip up a quick garlic butter or a creamy ranch dressing. The contrast in flavors makes the meal so much more enjoyable, and I always end up dipping my crusts in those delicious sauces.
Variations & Customizations
One of the things I adore about this recipe is its flexibility. If you’re a fan of spicy food, try adding jalapeños or even a drizzle of sriracha before air-frying. It adds that perfect kick to your pizza, making it even more exciting.
For a vegetarian option, I love loading my Texas toast with a colorful assortment of veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, and olives. You can experiment with different cheese blends too, like adding some feta for a Mediterranean twist or using cheddar for a sharp flavor.
If you’re watching carbs, you can always scale back on the amount of Texas toast you use and pile up the toppings on just one slice for an open-faced pizza sensation. Trust me; it’s just as satisfying!
How to Store, Freeze & Reheat
If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare in my house!), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When I reheat them, I pop them back into the air fryer for a few minutes to get that crisp back—I find it makes all the difference!
If I want to prep for future snacking, I’ll sometimes freeze the Texas toast pizzas before cooking. Just assemble everything, wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and store them in a freezer-safe bag. When I’m ready to enjoy them, I simply take one out and pop it directly into the air fryer without thawing. It’s a huge time-saver for busy evenings!
Just a quick note: the texture might be a bit different if you freeze them after they’ve been cooked, but I still think they taste great. If you do freeze them after cooking, reheat them in the air fryer and keep an eye on them to avoid drying out.
