Croque Monsieur Pizza Pocket Toast
This cross between pizza and a classic toasted French sandwich is portable enough to eat on the run.
Ingredients
- 2 very thick slices Italian bread
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) pizza or pasta sauce
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) thinly sliced pepperoni
- 2 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried oregano leaves
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
Preparation
Cut a slit in the bottom of each slice of bread using a sharp knife to make a pocket. Spread pizza sauce inside cavities in bread and fill with pepperoni slices and cheese slices.
Mix eggs with oregano, salt and pepper.
Spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Dip slices of bread, one at a time, in egg mixture until well coated on each side. Place in heated pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bottom is golden. Turn and sprinkle Parmesan (if using) evenly over top. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer or until golden.
Makes 2 sandwiches.
