Homemade Easy Pizza Toast! Whether you're looking for a quick and tasty school snack for the kids or a hassle-free dinner option, this recipe is a game-changer. Using simple ingredients and a burst of flavors, you'll have a delicious pizza experience in just minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread of choice (We love sourdough!)
- 5 teaspooons tomato sauce or ketchup (Ketchup tends to be sweeter. )
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (Or regular cheddar. )
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano (Optional, but highly recommended. )
Toppings of choice
- cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, mushrooms, spinach and feta, olives, avocado, red onion.
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices. You can use a toaster or the oven – whatever fits your preference.
If using the oven, then preheat the grill on your oven. Aim for a golden brown color with a slight crunch, providing the ideal base for your pizza toast. - Once your bread slices are toasted, generously spread your pizza sauce over each one.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the sauced-up bread slices.
- Customize it with your favorite toppings, or leave it Margherita Style.
Get creative! Add your favorite pizza toppings, whether it's colorful cherry tomatoes, fragrant fresh basil, or any other ingredient that tickles your taste buds. You can tailor your pizza toast to suit everyone's preferences. - Place your pizza toast in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking – we aim for a crispy base and gooey toppings.
- Watch the Oven Closely:
Keep a close eye on your pizza toasts in the oven. They can go from perfectly melted to burnt fairly quickly. Oven temperatures may vary, so be attentive during the baking process. - Serve and Enjoy!
Once your pizza toasts are out of the oven, let them cool for a minute before slicing. The crispy texture and gooey cheese are at their peak right out of the oven. The aroma alone will have your family and friends gathering around. Serve with a side of extra homemade pizza sauce for dipping, and watch these disappear in no time.
