Pizza Open Sandwich

I didn’t realize how exciting some people might get over this until I made one for a recent visitor. As we all settle into doing so much more at home, this is an easy way to get a pizza vibe without all of the calories.

You will need:

Your favorite cheese (this is sharp cheddar; Monterey Jack is also a good choice)

Your favorite multi-grain bread; pick something with substance to hold everything.

Tomatoes

Optional: mushrooms, onions, green peppers, olives, meats, butter

To make:

Toast your bread.

Spread butter on toast (optional) then top with slices of cheese. Make them the same size so they all melt at the same time.

Add your favorite toppings. I tend to favor vegetarian pizzas so the more vegetables the better.

Toast again until cheese melts.

To serve:

Cut in half or quarters.

Enjoy!
