Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20-25 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 10 mini pizzas

Ingredients:
- 10 slices of bread (you can use white or whole grain bread, depending on your preference)
- Water or milk (just enough to soak the bread slices without making them too soggy)
- 1 large onion or 2 small onions
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- 100-150 g salami (or your favorite cold cut)
- 100 g sausage (optional)
- 100 g cheese or cheddar
- A little fresh parsley
- Oil for greasing the tray
- 2-3 tablespoons of tomato paste

Preparation:

1. Preparing the bread slices: Start by soaking the bread slices in water or milk. It’s essential not to leave them too long, or they risk becoming too soft. Quickly dip them for just a few seconds, then remove and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess liquid.

2. Preparing the tray: Grease a tray with a little oil to prevent the mini pizzas from sticking. Then, arrange the bread slices evenly in the tray.

3. Preparing the sauce: In a bowl, mix the tomato paste with a little water or oil to achieve a smooth paste. Use about 2 tablespoons of sauce for each slice of bread, spreading it evenly.

4. Cutting the ingredients: Wash the onion, peel it, and slice it thinly. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes, and slice the salami and sausage thinly or into rounds, depending on your preference.

5. Mixing the ingredients: In a separate bowl, add the slices of salami and sausage. Beat the eggs as for an omelet and pour them over the cold cuts, mixing well. This mixture will add a delicious note and keep the ingredients together on the bread base.

6. Assembling the mini pizzas: Place the mixture of cold cuts and eggs over each slice of bread. Then, add the chopped vegetables, distributing them evenly. Don’t forget the cheese! You can cut it into cubes or grate it and sprinkle it on top.

7. Finalizing the dish: Wash the parsley, chop it finely, and sprinkle it over your mini pizzas for an extra flavor boost.

8. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180-200 degrees Celsius. Place the tray with mini pizzas in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden and slightly crispy.

Serving and suggestions: Once the mini pizzas are ready, let them cool slightly before serving. You can garnish them with a few fresh parsley leaves for a more appealing look. These mini pizzas are excellent alongside a fresh salad or a refreshing drink, such as iced tea or lemonade.

Practical tips:
- Make sure not to soak the bread slices for too long, or they will become too soft.
- You can add other ingredients like olives, mushrooms, or peppers, depending on your preferences.
- If you want to make them healthier, you can use whole grain or gluten-free bread.

Nutritional benefits:
These mini pizzas are a good source of protein due to the eggs and cold cuts, while the vegetables provide important vitamins and minerals. Additionally, the cheese offers calcium, essential for bone health.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use old bread for this recipe?
- Yes, older bread is perfect for this, as it will absorb the liquid well and provide a pleasant texture.

2. How can I make the mini pizzas spicier?
- You can add spices like chili pepper or chili sauce to the egg mixture for a more intense flavor.

3. What is the best cheese to use in this recipe?
- Cheddar is an excellent choice due to its good melting properties, but you can also experiment with mozzarella or feta cheese for a different taste.
