Pizza Sandwich is a simple snack which combines best of both worlds - the crispness of bread and yummy taste of pizza. The bread turns golden and crunchy outside while cheese melts inside giving soft and creamy texture. The vegetables gives freshness and mild sweetness which balances the tangy pizza sauce.
This snack is very much popular because it is very easy to make and so much versatile. You can use any bread, white, brown or even multigrain. Toppings can be changed according to taste, so every sandwich can taste little different. Some like adding olives or mushrooms, others keep simple cheese and vegetables.
The flavors in the Pizza Sandwich is very colorful yet simple. Cheese gives creamy taste, sauce is tangy and vegetables give nice crunch and color. It is snack which kids and adults can enjoy. You can make it spicy with chili flakes or mild for small children. Even adding few drops of olive oil before grilling makes it taste little richer.
I usually make this sandwich for evening snack when I wants something quick but filling. It is favorite during small gatherings cause it looks very colorful and tastes real nice. You can also play with herbs and seasonings a little, it changes flavor nicely.
Pizza Sandwich Ingredients
- Bread slices - I have used white sandwich bread, it gives soft inside and crisp outside. You can use brown or multigrain also for healthier choice. Some breads are little thick, then I press slightly before grilling.
- Pizza sauce - I spread this on bread for tangy and flavorful base. You can use pasta sauce also if pizza sauce not available. I like spreading little more for strong flavor.
- Onion chopped - I added onion for crunch and slight sweetness. Finely chopped spring onion can be alternative. Sometimes I lightly sauté onion before adding if want softer texture.
- Capsicum cubed - I use capsicum for color and crunch. Any bell pepper will work, even mixed colors looks nice.
- Sweet corn boiled - It gives mild sweetness and soft texture. Canned corn can also be used if fresh not available. I sometimes mix sweet corn with little grated carrot for extra color.
- Mozzarella cheese grated - I use this for creamy and gooey texture. Other melting cheese like cheddar or processed cheese can also work. More cheese makes sandwich extra tasty.
- Chilli flakes - I sprinkle this for little spice. You can skip it if not like spicy flavor. I usually sprinkle after grilling so kids can eat without spice.
- Oregano - It gives nice aroma and Italian flavor. Dried basil can be used instead if needed. I like sprinkling little extra for fragrance.
- Butter - I apply this to grill bread for crispiness. Olive oil or ghee can also be used. Butter also gives nice golden color while grilling.
