Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of thick bread (sourdough or Italian works best)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or any of your favorite pizza toppings)
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Bread: Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up nicely.
  3. Toast the Bread: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown. This step will ensure the bread doesn’t become too soggy once the toppings are added.
  4. Add Pizza Sauce: Remove the bread from the oven. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over each slice.
  5. Layer the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
  6. Add Toppings: Arrange the pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, and sliced black olives over the cheese. Feel free to add any other toppings you like!
  7. Season: Sprinkle the dried oregano and basil over the toppings. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Bake Again: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are crispy.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Slice the pizza toast into smaller pieces for easy serving.
  10. Enjoy: Serve your Pizza Lava Toast warm and enjoy a delicious, cheesy, pizza-inspired snack.

Feel free to adjust the ingredients and toppings based on your preferences. This recipe is perfect for a quick meal or snack and is sure to be a hit with pizza lovers.
