Pizza Toast

Pizza Toast is one of those quick and easy lunch ideas you can throw together in minutes and make as simple or fancy as you like.

When I need a go-to quick and easy lunch (or snack idea) pizza toast is it. And especially during school holidays when kids seem to need ALL the meals and ALL the snacks. This simple recipe is one they can help out with making, and, they'll really enjoy eating too!

For our basic pizza toast you'll literally just need pizza sauce and shredded mozzarella, but we've also given you some of our favorite pizza topping combos for you to try and they're delicious!

Pizza toast literally takes just minutes to make, and it goes great with our tomato and cucumber salad, or alongside some homemade ranch coleslaw.

PIZZA TOAST INGREDIENTS

• Bread - you'll need 1-2 slices of bread per person, you can use any bread you like. We like to use thick cut rustic white bloomer style bread.
• Pizza Sauce - we usually use Mutti pizza sauce but you can use any jar or tin of sauce or marinara sauce you like.
• Shredded Mozzarella - we buy this in bags ready to use so it's quicker. You could swap it for shredded Cheddar cheese or dice up a ball of mozzarella instead.
• Pepperoni - my kids love pepperoni, but it's an easy swap to make these with ham, chorizo or tuna.
• Dried Oregano - we sprinkle over some dried oregano before grilling. It just adds that pizza taste.
