So easy and yummy. Kid and hubby pleasing comfort food in minutes! Faster even than making pizza or waiting for delivery! Makes a great appetizer or even a very satisfying meal! Make as healthy- or unhealthy- as you like! Add anything to the sauce - meat, veggie, etc... Very versatile and quick! We love to make it spicy by adding dried hot pepper flakes, jalapenos, green chilis or cayenne etc... World Tour Italy and Mexico/Tex/Mex/SW This can obviously be adjusted to be Italian or Tex/Mex by the additions used. FUNDIDO (melted cheese) is a popular appetizer in Tx/Mx cooking. To keep this more 'traditional' Mexican use Mexican oregano instead of Italian seasoning and Mexican cheeses like pepper jack or queso quesadilla and bolillos- Mexican crusty rolls. You could even add some cooked chorizo. To make it Italian- use the Italian seasoning and add any 'pizza' type toppings you like. Ingredients:
8 ounces pizza sauce |
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon garlic, more to taste is ok too |
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded or 2 cups monterey jack cheese or 2 cups monterey jack pepper cheese |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
1 loaf french bread |
Directions:
1. Cut bread into cubes or strips and broil until browned and toasty.
2. Spray a casserole or pie pan with cooking spray.
3. Pour pizza sauce into pan and add seasonings. Stir to combine.
4. Add any 'pizza toppings' you like at this point. See *Note.
5. Top with cheeses.
6. Place dish on bottom rack to cook while bread is browning or microwave until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted.
7. Place under broiler to brown cheese if desired.
8. Dip toasted bread into pan just like fondue! Kids have a blast doing this! Or spoon sauce on plate and dip.
9. Note: Add anything you like to the sauce: chorizo, hamburger, pepperoni, veggies etc.
