Snack Attack...Pizza toast...

I have to admit that I get the craving for pizza at some of the oddest times, and over the years I have perfected this little gem of a snack. It can even be a quick dinner if you wish, but you just have to make more is all. There is no real trick with this dish, very simple really, it's not really pizza, but it makes a fair substitute and even kids like it ( usually!) The real bonus is that you can make it with whatever you have around if you don't have real pizza fixin's around. I'll give you the basics and a few suggestions and then you can take it from there.

Ingredients:

2-4 slices sandwich bread
Ketchup, enough to cover each slice of bread
10-20 slices Pepperoni (I like 5 per slice of bread)
Garlic powder
Basil
Oregano
Cheese ( shredded or sliced) your favorite kind


Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

On a dry cookie sheet place the bread slices, and coat liberally with ketchup.

gently sprinkle with garlic powder, basil and oregano.

Add layer of cheese and then arrange pepperoni and top with a little more cheese.

Place in oven for 10-15 minutes or until bottom of bread is golden brown.

Cool for 5 minutes and serve.


EAT IT!!!!

Afterthoughts:

I like to sprinkle the top with some Parmesan before it goes in the oven.

You can use any topping that you usually like on Pizza, but remember that the bread is your limit, it's not as strong as real pizza crust. sliced onion, sliced olives, even them little fishies if you're so inclined.

You can use any bread you want, from hamburg rolls to french bread, even rye and pumpernickel, different strokes for different folks!
