Instructions
- Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread, then place them butter-side down on your work surface. This helps the toast get crisp and golden on the bottom.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce over the top of each slice. Keep it mostly in the center so the bread does not get too soggy at the edges.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over both slices, then add the pepperoni on top. Finish with the Italian seasoning and Parmesan if using.
- Place the slices in an air fryer at 375 degrees or in a toaster oven at 400 degrees. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges of the bread are crisp.
- Remove the pizza toast and let it sit for about a minute so the cheese settles slightly. Drizzle the hot honey over the top while it is still warm.
- Add red pepper flakes or parsley if you want a little extra color or heat, then serve right away while the toast is crispy and the cheese is still stretchy.
