How to Make Quick and Easy Margherita Pizza Toast Bites
The easiest and quickest Margherita Pizza Bites, and the best part is – you probably already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of your favorite bread, each bread quartered evenly (my favorite to use is Food is Life’s Ezekiel Bread)
- 1 garlic clove
- ¼ c and 2 tbsp marinara
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 4 oz low-moisture mozzarella, sliced and cut into the size of the quartered bread
- 1-2 roma tomatoes, thinly sliced (depending on size)
- 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
- 4-8 fresh basil leaves (depending on size)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Lay the quartered bread onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes.
- Pull the toasts out of the oven and while they are still warm, generously rub the garlic clove on the toasts.
- Add marinara on each toast and evenly spread it over using a butter knife or the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the marinara, then place a slice of mozzarella over each, followed by the thinly sliced tomato.
- Bake for another 5 minutes, then lower the baking sheet to the lowest baking rack in your oven and broil on high for 2 minutes (this is what will give you the beautiful, slightly golden melted cheese).
- Pull the pizza bites from the oven and top with flaky (or regular) sea salt and torn basil leaves.
- Allow to cool for about 2 minutes before serving.
