Toasts with jam, pepperoni, tomato, and lettuce.

With bacon and other delicatessen products

Due to its size, you can only cook mini-pizzas. Even so, if you love this dish they are a great option. You can buy the dough or prepare it at home, then you just have to choose the ingredients that you will place on top and put everything in the toaster oven.
* Simple tomato bruschetta
First, slice half of a baguette, diagonally into 12 half-inch thick pieces. Place the slices on a baking sheet and toast them on the top rack of your oven until lightly toasted and golden brown around the edges.
Second, when the slices are cool, rub each with a clove of garlic that’s been cut in half and spread with extra virgin olive oil.
Third, to put on top of the bruschetta just use a simple tomato mixture with mozzarella and fresh basil. Stir them all together with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fourth, you can add any other toppings such as olives, parsley, or jam.
