Garlic Bread Margherita Pizza Toast
If you have picky eaters in your home, try this recipe. Want something that you can make in minutes? This recipe is yet again calling your name. Simple, easy, and downright addictive.
Why Use The Instant Vortex Plus, Air Fryer
Why not!? I find this heats up so much faster than preheating the oven. Plus it allows me to have a five-minute dinner instead of a 15 minute waiting for the oven to preheat. Plus, minimal cleanup and it doesn’t heat my house. If you are on the fence, go for it. This air fryer is fantastic.
Why Type Of Cheese Do You Use for Margherita Pizza Toast
I reached for fresh mozzarella. You could say that is the Italian take. Fresh is always best in my opinion. If you don’t have fresh you could easily use shredded mozzarella or even a pizza blend of cheese.
Can I Change The Toppings For My Garlic Bread Pizza
Of course. If you are looking for something different go ahead and pile on any of your favorite pizza toppings. This recipe works for any toppings. Just don’t over-pile or it could become messy trying to eat.
Other tasty toppings to consider
- Salami
- Pepperoni
- Bell peppers
- Onions
- Olives
- Canadian Bacon
Or add any other toppings you would like. We love the mozzarella and basil together, plus it is simple. Sometimes for us simple is best, and it offers a lot of flavor.
What Type of Pizza Sauce Do You Use
Honestly, you can use any type of pizza sauce you prefer. If you have a favorite brand reach for that. Of course, quality is key as it is the main flavor that will stand out in this recipe. But, you can also reach for what is on sale if you don’t have a favorite. I tend to rotate on our favorite brands.
What To Serve With Margherita Pizza Toast
- Side Salad for the crunch factor
- Cucumber and onion salad
- Fruit salad
We tend to eat this alone or with a green salad on the side. But you can add any of your favorite sides next to it. Or even slice up the pizza and serve it as an appetizer.
How to Store Leftover Margherita Pizza
You can store any leftovers you have in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. This is best when served fresh, as it will begin to lose the crunch factor in the fridge. To reheat use the stove to slowly warm it up, microwave or even the oven.
