Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices Sandwich Bread
- 1 ½ cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce
- ½ cup Cooked Corn Kernels
- ½ cup Green Bell Pepper, finely chopped
- ¼ cup Onion, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Chili Flakes
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat to prepare for toasting the pizza triangles.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix together the finely chopped green bell pepper, onion, cooked corn kernels, chili flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese to create the flavorful filling.
- Butter Skillet: Lightly butter the skillet or use cooking spray to prevent sticking and to help achieve a golden crust on the bread.
- Assemble Triangles: Slightly flatten each slice of sandwich bread. Spread a layer of pizza sauce on one side, then add a generous amount of the prepared filling and some of the remaining cheese. Fold the bread into triangles and carefully seal the edges to hold the filling inside.
- Toast Triangles: Butter the outside of each folded triangle. Place them in the heated skillet and toast for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
- Rest and Garnish: Remove the toasted pizza triangles from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Sprinkle with extra Italian seasoning or chili flakes if desired for added flavor.
- Serve: Serve the pizza triangles hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as garlic mayo or extra pizza sauce for a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Flattening the bread slightly helps create a neater fold and ensures even toasting.
- Seal the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking while cooking.
- You can customize the filling with your favorite pizza toppings like olives, mushrooms, or jalapeños.
- Use a non-stick skillet for best results and easier cleanup.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the crispy texture and melted cheese.
