Garlic Toast Personal Pizzas

By msippigrl

Quick and easy recipe that kids of all ages will love! Frozen garlic Texas toast is topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni then baked.

Ingredients

• 1 (11.25 oz) box frozen garlic Texas toast (I used New York brand, 8 slices)
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce (I used Ragu)
• 1 (3 1/2 oz) package sliced pepperoni (I used Hormel, Original)
• 2 cups (8 ozs) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• Grated Parmesan cheese, optional but recommended*

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Line a 15x10" jellyroll baking pan with parchment paper. Place Texas toast in the pan and bake 5 minutes. (After checking it at 5 minutes, I baked it another couple minutes to ensure the bread wouldn't be soggy).

Remove from oven and spread toast with pizza sauce (*Before adding the sauce, I sprinkled a little Parmesan and mozzarella on the toast to keep the sauce from soaking up in the bread); then top generously cheese, then pepperoni.

Place oven rack at top position and broil pizzas on low until pepperoni starts to curl and cheese is melted. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and crushed red peppers, if desired.
