Notes
Prepare Toppings First: I like having everything chopped and ready before assembling, so the pizza toast comes together quickly.
Use a Light Layer of Sauce: Too much sauce can make the bread soft instead of nicely toasted.
Bake on the Middle Rack: This helps the cheese melt evenly while the bread crisps.
Let it Rest Briefly: A minute out of the oven helps the toppings settle and makes the slices easier to handle.
Reheat in a Dry Skillet: I like reheating leftover pizza toast in a pan to bring back the crisp texture.
