Yummy Pizza Toasts

The possibilities are endless with these pizza toasts. On this occasion, I kept them quite simple. But there are so many variations you could choose from.

I didn't have any of my delicious homemade pizza sauce made up when I did these pizza toast, so I just did a quick cheats version. But if you have time I highly recommend making a batch of the pizza sauce and freezing some handy portions.

Ingredients Needed

to prepare the pizza toasts, you will need the following ingredients:

1. Bread: I opt for two small fresh wholemeal bread slices, but you can use any bread you like
2. Cheese: my favourite to use here is just some fresh mozzarella, but a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella is perfect too.
3. Tomato: a medium fresh ripe tomato
4. Onion: red onion is my favourite to use on this pizza toast
5. Ham: just a couple of slices of thin lean deli ham
6. Homemade Pizza Sauce: I make this using passata, tomato paste, garlic powder, italian herbs and a little granulated sweetener to balance the acidity.
7. Balsamic vinegar: I love the flavour thsi imparts by just drizzle a small amount over the top of the cheese prior to baking.
8. Low Calorie Spray - Use your preferred choice of low calorie spray, I prefer olive oil or avocado sprays without any added emulsifiers.
9. Fresh basil - it's the perfect finishing touch for the dish. You can skip it if you'd like, but it adds a delightful and healthy touch of green to the overall presentation
10. Salt and Pepper - These basic yet essential flavour enhancers are key for elevating the taste of your dishes. No food will ever be bland when these are used to season to taste.

Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.
