Ingredients
Scale
- Thick slices of white sandwich bread or Texas toast
- 4 ounces cooked pork or chicken sausage, crumbled or sliced (spicy pork sausage recommended)
- ½ cup pizza or marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion (optional)
- 2 tablespoons finely diced bell pepper (optional)
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source (about 5 minutes).
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add crumbled sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic; sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat.
- Spread remaining 1 tablespoon softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Place bread butter-side down on a skillet or toaster and toast lightly until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes.
- Flip toasted bread so buttered side is down on a baking sheet. Spread about 2 tablespoons tomato sauce evenly on each slice.
- Spoon sausage and veggie mixture evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded mozzarella over each slice.
- Place baking sheet under broiler and broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown with crispy edges. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and let cool for a minute before slicing and serving.
Notes
Toast the bread before adding toppings to prevent sogginess. Watch the toast closely while broiling to avoid burning. For extra gooey cheese, add a second sprinkle of mozzarella halfway through broiling. Let sausage rest a minute after cooking to keep juices locked in. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese or omit cheese and add extra veggies.
