Servings: 2 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of toast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tbsp marinara sauce
- 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 slices sopressata
- 1/2 - 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 - 4 tsp hot honey
- Fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brush both sides of the toast slices with olive oil.
- Place toast on a sheet pan and bake for 5 - 6 minutes, until lightly toasted but not yet golden.
- Rub the garlic clove on one side of each slice (the topping side).
- Spread marinara sauce evenly over the garlic-rubbed sides.
- Top each slice with mozzarella, sopressata, and red pepper flakes.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 8 - 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle generously with hot honey.
- Finish with torn fresh basil and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use sourdough or rustic bread for sturdier, crispier results.
- Try different hot honeys (chili-infused or habanero) for unique heat levels.
- For vegetarian, omit sopressata and add sautéed mushrooms or olives.
- Add a pinch of flaky salt after baking to enhance all the flavors.
- This is also great topped with a fried or poached egg for brunch.
