Recipe Ingredients Needed
- fresh sourdough bread
- cremini mushrooms
- cherry tomatoes
- pizza sauce (I used marinara)
- bocconcini cheese
- olive oil
- oregano
- fresh basil
How To Make Pizza Toast
Homemade pizza toasts are the easiest thing ever!
Start by preheating your oven to broil and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Then, slice sourdough bread and place on top of parchment paper.
Next, prep your ingredients by sautéing the mushrooms and tomatoes on the stovetop for about 5 minutes. Once that’s done, it’s time to assemble your toasts!
Spread pizza sauce (I used marinara) on the top of each slice. Then, place sliced bocconcini cheese and sautéed veggies over the pizza sauce.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler in the oven for about 2-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Be sure to keep an eye on your toasts to make sure that nothing burns.
Remove the melty pizza toasts from the oven and sprinkle with a bit of oregano, fresh basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. And that is IT! Your delicious, cheesy pizza toasts are now ready to devour 🙂
Topping Ideas
There are SO many ways that you can customize this recipe! Just like regular pizza, the topping combinations are endless. Here are some ideas:
- other vegetables, like roasted red peppers or grilled zucchini (this would even be a great way to use up leftover cooked veggies!)
- other cheeses, like goat cheese, shredded cheddar, or gorgonzola
- pesto instead of (or in addition to) red pizza sauce
- pepperoni slices, if you enjoy meat
I’d love to know what combinations you come up with!
