Required ingredients

For the base:
- 3 large eggs (preferably fresh and from free-range hens)
- 9 slices of toast bread (choose a quality bread for better taste)
- 1 tablespoon of tomato juice or paste (you can also use pizza sauce for a more intense flavor)
- Spices to taste: salt, chili, oregano, and basil (these will enhance the flavor)

For the filling:
- 200 g of Delaco cheese (a tasty cheese that melts perfectly)
- 1 onion (you can use red onion for a more pronounced sweetness)
- 1 zucchini (thinly sliced for quick baking)
- 1 bell pepper (preferably red, for color and sweetness)
- 100 g of smoked ham or bacon (for added flavor)
- 1 jar of 400 g with mushrooms (canned – make sure they are of good quality)

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preparing the eggs:
In a medium bowl, beat the 3 eggs with a whisk or fork. Add salt, chili, oregano, and basil, then incorporate the tablespoon of tomato juice or paste. The mixture should be well combined and smooth.

2. Preparing the toast:
Take each slice of toast bread and dip it in the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated on both sides. This technique will help create a crispy and flavorful crust.

3. Arranging in the tray:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a tray with a little oil to prevent sticking. Place the slices of toast in the tray, leaving a little space between them.

4. Adding the ingredients:
Grate the cheese and sprinkle a generous layer over the toast slices. Add the mushrooms, sliced ham, zucchini, thinly sliced onion, and bell pepper. Don’t forget to add more cheese on top to achieve a golden and delicious crust.

5. Baking:
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese turns golden and the toast slices are crispy.

6. Finalizing:
When the Pizza Toast is ready, remove the tray from the oven and, while still hot, sprinkle a little extra cheese on top for added goodness. Let it cool for a few minutes, then cut the slices and serve warm.

Useful tips and tricks

- Variations: Don’t limit yourself to mushrooms and ham! You can experiment with any type of vegetables or cheese you have on hand. Cherry tomatoes, olives, or even anchovies can add a special touch.
- Spices: Play with the spices! You can add hot peppers or fresh herbs for an extra flavor boost.
- Serving: Serve Pizza Toast with a fresh salad or a portion of tomato sauce for a delicious contrast. A bottle of white wine or a cold beer could perfectly complement this meal.
