Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Italian seasoning to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 slices of bread, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of marinara sauce, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the toast.
- While the oven is heating, take the slices of bread and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce evenly over each slice of bread, covering the surface generously.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the marinara sauce on each slice, ensuring even coverage for a delicious cheesy flavor.
- In a small bowl, crack the 2 large eggs and season them with a pinch of salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. Whisk the eggs lightly until the yolks and whites are well combined.
- Carefully pour the whisked eggs over the cheese-topped bread slices, allowing the egg to spread out and coat the toppings evenly.
- Once the oven is preheated, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- After baking, remove the pizza egg toasts from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve the Easy Pizza Egg Toasts warm, garnished with additional Italian seasoning if desired. Enjoy your delicious Italian-inspired breakfast or snack!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality bread for the best texture and flavor. Sourdough or a thick-cut artisan bread works wonderfully.
- For extra crispy edges, lightly toast the bread before adding toppings.
- Experiment with different marinara sauces - homemade or premium store-bought will elevate the flavor.
- Don't overload the bread with sauce or cheese to prevent soggy results.
- Watch the oven carefully during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
- For a gourmet twist, try adding fresh basil, pepperoni slices, or red pepper flakes before baking.
- Use a non-stick baking sheet or parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Let the toasts rest for a minute after baking to allow the cheese to set and the flavors to meld.
