Ingredients
- 2 slices thick sourdough bread
- 2–3 tbsp softened butter

Helpful Tips
Storage
Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be kept in the fridge for 1 day and reheated under the grill until hot and crisp.
Substitutions
- Cheese: Swap mozzarella for provolone, cheddar, or even ricotta.
- Toppings: Add prosciutto, mushrooms, or olives for a more pizza-like feel.
- Bread: Ciabatta or focaccia work if you don’t have sourdough.
- Extra flair: Rub the toast with a cut clove of garlic before adding toppings for even more punch.
