These double-decker cheese and pizza toasts are the ultimate busy-morning lifesaver. They are crispy on the outside, incredibly gooey on the inside, and packed with savory flavor that kids (and adults) will devour.
Since the original ingredients list missed a few crucial toppings visible on these delicious toasties, the recipe below includes everything you need to recreate them perfectly!
📋 Ingredients
The Base: 6 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
The Melt: 6 slices of cheese (such as Cheddar, Provolone, or Monterey Jack)
The Topping Mix:
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2-3 mini cocktail sausages or hot dogs, thinly sliced into rounds
2 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper or tomato
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)
🥣 Directions
Step 1: Prep Your Cooking Method
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high (or preheat an air fryer to 400°F/200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for quick cleanup.
Step 2: Build the Inside Sandwich
Lay out 3 slices of bread on your workspace. Place one slice of your favorite sliced cheese onto each piece of bread. Top each with a second slice of cheese, and cover with the remaining 3 slices of bread to create 3 simple cheese sandwiches.
Step 3: Load Up the Pizza Topping
Place the 3 sandwiches onto your prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the top piece of bread with a tiny bit of melted butter or olive oil. Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella, sliced sausage rounds, and diced peppers across the tops of the sandwiches. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over everything.
Step 4: Melt and Crisp
Pop the baking sheet under the broiler (or into your air fryer) for about 3 to 4 minutes. Keep a close eye on them! You want the shredded cheese on top to become bubbling, golden-brown, and perfectly melted, while the sliced cheese inside gets warm and gooey.
Step 5: Cut and Serve
Remove from the heat and let them cool for just one minute so the cheese doesn’t completely slide out. Slice them in half diagonally and serve warm to your hungry family!
