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.
