Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices thick slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices pepperoni slices
- 0.5 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Set your oven to broil or preheat a toaster oven to high heat.
Butter one side of each slice of bread generously. Place the buttered side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly onto the unbuttered side of each slice of bread.
Top each slice with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, spreading it out evenly to cover the surface.
Add 3 pepperoni slices to each toast, arranging them for even coverage.
Sprinkle each toast with 0.25 teaspoons of dried Italian seasoning and, if desired, 0.125 teaspoons of red chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler (or in your toaster oven) and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on the edges of the toast. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the pizza toast cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your cheesy, pizza-flavored toast!
