Pizza Toasts Recipe

Cheese on toast with an upgrade! You can use homemade or store-bought pizza sauce for this easy pizza toast recipe if you like, but I find the rest of the jar never gets used! Instead, I like to mix up a quick no-cook pizza sauce from a few store cupboard ingredients, which works just as well to give that tomatoey tang.

Ingredients

Pizza Toasts:

  • 4 thick slices of bread I like to use sourdough or tiger bread for a crispier crust
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree paste
  • 3 tablespoons tomato ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 150 g (1 ½ packed cups) grated mixed cheese (I use a mixture of cheddar, mozzarella and red Leicester)
  • 4 cherry tomatoes sliced
  • 6 slices pepperoni quartered

To Serve:

  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 spring onions (scallions) sliced

Instructions

  • Lightly toast the bread on both sides under the grill (broiler).
    4 thick slices of bread
  • Mix together the tomato puree, tomato ketchup, olive oil, oregano and garlic powder in a small bowl.
    1 tablespoon tomato puree, 3 tablespoons tomato ketchup, 1 teaspoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Top the toast slices with the sauce and spread to the edges.
  • Sprinkle on the grated cheese, then arrange the tomato slices and pepperoni pieces on top.
    150 g (1 ½ packed cups) grated mixed cheese, 4 cherry tomatoes, 6 slices pepperoni
  • Place back under the grill (broiler) on a high heat, until the cheese is melted and bubbling (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Serve topped with a sprinkling of dried oregano and spring onions.
    ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, 2 spring onions (scallions)

Notes

Tip: Swap out the toppings to change up the pizza toasts. Sliced mushrooms, jalapenos, pineapple chunks, shredded ham and diced peppers all work well. You can also add a spoonful of pesto to the pizza sauce for extra flavour.
