Pizza Toast Recipe

Delicious Pizza Toast

An easy recipe to use up those leftovers and enjoy a tasty lunch.

What is Pizza Toast

There aren’t many people in the world who don’t like pizza. After all you can have pretty much any combination of toppings you like and I have even read about a banana and curry pizza!

Now, while you can get ready made bases or even order a takeaway pizza these things are a bit expensive and heavy for lunch. Plus, they can take a long time to cook or arrive.

So, how do you enjoy the taste of pizza for lunch without it taking ages to cook, breaking the bank or making you uncomfortably full? Simple, you have Pizza Toast.

Pizza Toast is simply a step up from cheese of toast by adding more ingredients and a base layer of delicious pizza sauce. You make it the same way as you make cheese on toast using a grill (broiler) and it takes about the same amount of cooking time. It does require a tiny bit more preparation time but this is well worth it for the tasty Pizza pay off.

For this recipe I made a simple BBQ Pizza sauce but you could just as easily make a tomato one, or possible a garlic butter pizza sauce if you aren’t seeing anyone for the rest of the day.

Pizza Toast is also known as Pizza on Toast but it is the same recipe.

How to make Pizza Toast

Here is the video of me making this delicious recipe. In it you see just how easy it is to make Pizza Toast while I talk you through each step.

Ingredients for Pizza Toast

The following ingredients are required to make this pizza toast recipe

For the pizza sauce:

  • 1 tbsp BBQ Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 1 tsp Garlic Puree
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

For the pizza toast:

  • 2 slices of thick cut bread
  • 1 portion of BBQ Pizza Sauce
  • 45 grams of cheddar or Gouda cheese
  • 4 slices of pepperoni
  • 2 Frankfurter sausages
  • 1 tbsp sweetcorn

As I said above you can really make this with any ingredients you have to hand. Just like Toasted Sandwiches, Pizza’s are a great way to use up leftovers and fight food waste.

Directions to make Pizza Toast

Here are the step by step directions to make Pizza Toast

Make the Pizza Sauce

  1. Put all the sauce ingredients into a bowl and mix
  2. Check you have a smooth consistency and if required add a tiny amount of water

An even quicker option could be to buy a ready made pizza sauce (Amazon Affiliate Link) .

Make the Pizza Toast

  1. Place the bread under the grill and toast one side
  2. Chop the frankfurters into small chunks
  3. Take the bread and on the non-toasted side spread the pizza sauce
  4. Sprinkle on the frankfurter chunks and sweetcorn
  5. Add the cheese to each slice
  6. Top each slice with the pepperoni
  7. Place the pizza toast back under the grill and cook until the cheese has melted and the pepperoni is crispy

Oven cooked Pizza Toast

If you have a bit more time you can opt to cook the pizza toast in the oven and will probably avoid the slightly charred edges of toast but this doesn’t bother me and it will probably at least double your cooking time as you wait for the oven to heat up and the extra time take to cook the pizza toast.

Top it off

Top off your Pizza toast with some fresh basil and possibly a drizzle of balsamic oil.

Alternative Pizza Toast Toppings

Here are some alternative toppings you can try on your Pizza Toast

  • Mushrooms and Onions
  • Salami and chill
  • Meatballs and sweetcorn
  • Tuna and bell pepper
  • Ham and Pineapple
  • Chicken, bacon and avocado

Comment with your favorite pizza topping to continue the list.
