Pizza Toast

Image
Mama called it Cheese Toast, but my son calls it Pizza Toast. It is such a simple, easy and tasty treat. Whether it'd for an after school snack or add meat for a meal, it's sure to please kids of any age! I used my own homemade Pizza Sauce, but you can use your favorite brand. I also used a Colby Jack Cheese blend, but again use your favorite. The possibilities are endless! 1 French Bread Loaf, cut in thick slices Pizza Sauce  (or spaghetti sauce) 2 cups Colby Jack Cheese blend (optional) pepperoni, onion, peppers, olives Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread slices of bread with a tablespoon or so of sauce. Top with the toppings of your choice, or simply top with cheese. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. If serving to children, be sure to let them sit until the cheese has cooled enough to be safe.

My best advice with this recipe is preheat your oven and start at the lowest time range and keep your eye on them. If you walk away and let it go to long, you'll have a tray of hollow bites and melted cheese all over the place! You can see that mine already started to melt and hollow. 1-2 packages refrigerated canned biscuits (depending on how big you want your tree)* 1 block mozzarella cheese, cut into small chunks Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water) 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/4 Parmesan cheese 1/2 t garlic powder 1/2 t basil 1/2 t oregano Salt and Pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Cut mozzarella into 1� pieces. ...
