Total preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup of milk
- 50 g butter (for a rich taste)
- 200 g tomato sauce
- A generous handful of fresh or dried basil and oregano
- 1 medium onion, julienned
- 100 g ham, diced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 100 g olives, pitted and sliced
- 2 eggs
- 150 g grated cheese
- 100 g canned corn (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. This is the ideal temperature to achieve a crispy crust and a well-cooked filling.
2. Prepare the baking tray: place aluminum foil in the tray and grease it with a generous layer of butter. This step will help prevent sticking and will give a delicious taste to the crust.
3. Soak each slice of bread in milk. Make sure the slices are well soaked, but do not let them become too soft. This step will add moisture and intensify the flavor.
4. Place the slices of bread in the tray, slightly overlapping them to form an even base.
5. In a bowl, mix the tomato sauce with the basil and oregano, then spread the mixture evenly over the slices of bread. The flavors of the herbs will bring a Mediterranean touch to your dish.
6. Add the onion, ham, bell pepper, and olives over the sauce, distributing the ingredients evenly. If you like, you can also add the canned corn for a pleasant texture and sweet taste.
7. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour the mixture over the toppings in the tray. The eggs will act as a binder, keeping all the ingredients together.
8. Finally, generously sprinkle the grated cheese on top. This way, your pizza will achieve a golden, crispy, and appetizing crust.
9. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and nicely browned.
10. Once the pizza is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will make portioning easier and allow the flavors to settle.
Serving suggestion: Serve the bread pizza alongside a fresh salad or with a yogurt and mint sauce to add a refreshing touch.
Possible variations: You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or feta, or you can add vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini, depending on your preferences.
