Description

This Pizza Toast is a quick and easy snack or meal that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s made with thick Texas toast, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings, all baked to crispy perfection.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 slices thick Texas toast square sandwich bread
  • 6 tablespoons prepared pizza sauce (1 tablespoon sauce per slice of bread)
  • 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese (approximately 1/3 cup cheese per slice of bread)
  • 18 slices of pepperoni (3 per slice of bread)
  • 1/3 cup sliced button mushrooms
  • 1/3 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 4 fresh basil leaves, julienned

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Toast Bread: Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place the bread slices on it in a single layer. Bake for about 3 to 4 minutes until just starting to toast.
  2. Add Toppings: Remove toasted bread from oven, turn them over, and spread each slice with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce. Sprinkle each with 3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese and top with 3 pepperoni slices, a few slices of mushroom, and some diced green bell pepper and red onion. Finish with 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  3. Bake: Return bread to oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted with some brown spots.
  4. Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with some basil and enjoy!

Notes

  • Toast the Bread: Always toast the bread first to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Don’t Overdo the Sauce: Try to stick to no more than 2 tablespoons of sauce per slice of bread.
  • Avoid Overloading Toppings: Be careful not to add too many ingredients, as this can make the toast soggy.
  • Customize: Omit or add any of your favorite ingredients to customize to your liking.
  • Storage: Leftover pizza toast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven until warmed through.
