Easy Pizza Toast

Ingredients

• 6 strips Bacon (cut in half to fit toast; use lean bacon to avoid excess grease)
• 3 slices Bread (any sturdy sandwich bread works best)
• 6 tablespoons Ketchup (Heinz or any brand; used as pizza sauce substitute)
• 0.75 cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded; can use any meltable cheese)
• 1 sheet Aluminum Foil (to line lower rack and catch drips)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Turn the oven on and preheat to 425°F. Place the middle rack in position and line the lower rack with a sheet of aluminum foil to catch drips.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 425°F

2. Cut Bacon

   Take the bacon strips and cut each one in half lengthwise so they fit neatly on a slice of bread.

   Time: PT2M

3. Fry Bacon

   Heat the frying pan over medium heat and add the bacon halves. Cook until browned on both sides, leaving them slightly tender as they will finish cooking in the oven.

   Time: PT5M

4. Spread Ketchup

   Place the bread slices on a cutting board. Using the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of ketchup to the edges of each slice.

   Time: PT2M

5. Add Toppings

   Lay the cooked bacon halves on each slice, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, covering the surface.

   Time: PT2M

6. Prepare Rack

   Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the lower rack (already set in step 1) to catch any cheese drippings.

   Time: PT1M

7. Bake Toasts

   Transfer the assembled toasts directly onto the top oven rack. Bake for 7–10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 425°F

8. Serve

   Using oven mitts, remove the toasts and place them on a cutting board. Let cool for a minute, then enjoy.

   Time: PT2M
