Homemade Veggie Bread-Slice 'Pizzas'

Anu's Note:

My best friend's no-brainer recipe! Try these fantastic bread-slice 'pizzas' for a quick and easy lunch or dinner when you're just too tired to whip up anything elaborate. This combination of tomatoes, onions, bell peppers over a salsa-bread base makes 2 satisfying servings.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 7 mins
• Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 6 bread s ...

• 6 slices whole wheat bread
• ½ cup salsa (I use a mild, vegetarian one)
• 1 medium tomato , diced
• 1 medium onion , finely chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper , diced
• 3 tablespoons fresh corn kernels or 3 tablespoons frozen corn kernels , blanched
• ½ cup cheddar cheese , grated
• oregano

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix together the chopped tomatoes, onion and bell pepper.
2. Lay out the bread slices on a platter and spread about 2 heaped teaspoons of salsa evenly on one side of each slice.
3. Top the slices with a sprinking of oregano (about 1/2 teaspoon each).
4. Spoon the veggie mixture over each slice of bread and ensure that the base of the bread is evenly covered, but not overloaded.
5. Top with 1/2 tablespoon of blanched corn over each slice, followed by an even (and generous!) sprinkling of grated cheese.
6. Toast the bread-pizzas on the grilling rack of a preheated oven (300 degrees Celcius) for 5-8 minutes or until the bottoms of the bread slices are lightly browned.
7. Serve/eat hot; enjoy!

We made these using a crusty Italian loaf cut in 3/4-inch slices. Very easy, fast lunch, and everyone in the family thought they were delicious.
