Ingredients
- 4 slices white bread or toast
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 4 tbsp tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed vegetables (corn, peas, carrots)
- 4 slices deli ham
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- 1Prepare the bread base
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. Arrange pieces of white bread, or toast, to form a base for your mini pizzas.
Tip: Using parchment paper makes cleanup much easier, especially when the cheese starts to melt. - 2Add the egg layer
Pour the beaten egg mixture evenly over the arranged bread pieces. This will help bind the bread and create a nutritious, golden base once air-fried.
Tip: Ensure the eggs coat the bread well to get a nice, cohesive texture after cooking. - 3Spread the tomato sauce
Once the bread and egg base is cooked, remove it from the air fryer. Using a brush, spread a layer of tomato sauce over the surface.
Tip: Tomato sauce adds moisture and a classic pizza flavor to your toast snack. - 4Add the vegetables
Evenly sprinkle a colorful mix of frozen vegetable granules—such as corn, peas, and carrots—over the tomato sauce. This adds nutrition and texture to your pizza.
Tip: Thaw your vegetable mix slightly before adding if you prefer them cooked through faster. - 5Add ham slices
Place slices of ham over the vegetable layer. The ham adds a savory, meaty component that complements the veggies and cheese perfectly.
Tip: Use your favorite deli ham or even cooked sausage slices for this step. - 6Add the cheese and finish
Finish by spreading a generous, even layer of shredded cheese over the ham and vegetables. Place back into the air fryer at 180 degrees for 8 minutes until melted and golden.
Tip: Use a cheese that melts well, like mozzarella, for that perfect, appetizing stretch.
