Pizzaiola bruschettas are a small but great pleasure of home cooking: crunchy, tasty, and very easy to prepare. With the intense aroma of tomato, garlic, and oregano spreading through the kitchen, they quickly become the star of an aperitif, a quick dinner, or a snack among friends and family. Perfect to prepare at the last minute, these bruschettas bring all the taste of Italian tradition to the table.
For quick cooking, I chose the air fryer: just arrange the slices of bread topped with tomato and herbs in the basket, set the temperature to 356°F for 5-7 minutes, and you’re done. You’ll get bruschettas that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with an irresistible aroma, without the need for extra oil.

Tips:
Bread: choose a rustic or homemade bread, slightly stale, so it will maintain its crunchiness once toasted.
Tomato: use ripe and juicy tomatoes or quality canned tomatoes for a more intense flavor.
Garlic: lightly rub the garlic on the toasted bread for a delicate taste, without making the bruschetta too pungent.
Aromatic herbs: fresh or dried oregano, basil, or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil complete the flavor perfectly.
Final touch: you can add a light sprinkle of grated cheese or some olives for an extra boost of flavor.
