5 Minute Pizza Toastie
When you’re craving a pizza but don’t have one buried in the freezer or are tight on time, try my pizza toastie. Cheesy, tomato-y, warm and crunchy – the best vegan lunch or 5 minute snack.
Start by getting your bread, and on each slice spread a thin layer of tomato puree.
Now top with salt and pepper, and a big sprinkle of mixed herbs .
Add in grated vegan cheese and, if you like, some of your favourite toppings, such as olives, basil, red onion, peppers etc.
Drizzle with a glug of olive oil and close the two pieces of bread together. Butter the outside of the toastie on each side to get that crispy golden outside.
You don’t need a toastie machine but you can use one if you have it. In this case, place the sandwich inside and toast until golden.
If using a frying pan like I did, drizzle a little olive oil in the pan and fry on each side until golden and the cheese is melted.
