Hot air fryer instead of oven?
Sounds crazy, but it's brilliant!
The viral TikTok trend offers crispy pizza toasties with an extra portion of cheese.
Lunch break in the office, a spontaneous movie night with friends and delicious TV snacks or just want a hearty snack in between?
Air fryer pizza toasties are the perfect answer!
Conjured up in no time and simply delicious, they are currently conquering social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.
Simply Tasty editor Sandra first discovered the recipe idea from TikToker Eloise Head, who is known as @fitwaffle, and her video has already generated over 215,000 views - and the trend is rising.
Hardly surprising, because crispy toast bread, covered with a creamy cheese mixture, hearty sausage and aromatic pizza sauce - the list of ingredients reads simply, but the result is a hit in terms of taste.

And lo and behold: the pizza toasties from the hot air fryer absolutely did what they promised.
The juicy cooked ham in the original recipe was quickly replaced with spicy pepperoni - but here, as so often, the following applies: whatever tastes good is allowed.
For delicious mini pizzas from the hot air fryer you only need a handful of ingredients:

Spread the pizza sauce evenly on both slices of toast.
Place the cheese and pepperoni sausage on top of the tomato sauce.
Stack both slices of toast on top of each other so that the occupied sides face upwards.
Bake in the air fryer at 180 degrees for about six to nine minutes, until the cheese is melted and the pizza toasties are slightly crispy.
Zack – done!
Easy Tasty Tip:
You can also make a quick pizza sauce yourself by seasoning pureed tomatoes with salt, pepper, Italian herbs and a pinch of sugar.
After just a few minutes in the hot air fryer, wobbly toast turns into well-browned pizza toasties with a delicious cheese crust.
