Ingredients

6 slices thick Texas Toast square sandwich bread
6 tablespoons prepared pizza sauce (1 tablespoon sauce per slice of bread)
2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese (approx. 1/3 cup cheese per slice of bread)
18 slices of pepperoni (3 per slice of bread)
1/3 cup sliced button mushrooms
1/3 cup diced green bell pepper
1/3 cup diced red onion
4 fresh basil leaves , julienned

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place the bread slices on it in a single layer. Bake for about 3 to 4 minutes until just starting to toast.
Remove toasted bread from oven, turn them over, and spread each slice with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce. Sprinkle each with 3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese and top with 3 pepperoni slices, a few slices of mushroom, and some diced green bell pepper and red onion.
Finish with 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Return bread to oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted with some brown spots.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with some basil and enjoy!

Notes

Always toast the bread first. If you don't, it'll be soggy and essentially just pizza ingredients on bread, not pizza toast.

Don't add too much sauce. Try to stick to no more than 2 tablespoons of sauce. It's just enough to make the pizza perfectly saucy without making the bread too mushy.

Avoid going crazy on the ingredients. Be careful not to add too many ingredients. The more ingredients you pile on, the faster the toast will soften and not be crispy.

Feel free to customize. You can omit or add any of your favorite ingredients to customize to your liking.
