Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat bread slices
- 1 cup Salt-free tomato sauce
- 1 cup Low sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the whole wheat bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the salt-free tomato sauce with the garlic powder and dried oregano. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the mixture evenly over each slice of bread.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over each slice of prepared bread.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them on top of the cheese, dividing them equally among the slices.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top of each toast for added flavor and crispness.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and transfer to a plate.
Garnish each pizza toast with fresh basil leaves and, if desired, sprinkle a few crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your homemade low sodium pizza toast!
