Cost: $3
Prep: 10 minutes
Yesterday morning while shopping, Charlie was hungry. He loves bread, and there were focaccia marked down to $0.99. So, he ate a few hunks while we were shopping--and I ended up with a big hunk going stale in my coat pocket--but there was a fair sized loaf left when we got home.
Now, what to do with this?
There were many options for sandwiches, for dipping in soup, for toasting, but we went back to a twist on one of our favorite snacks from university. We would make toast, put tomato sauce on it, put any veggies or meats we had around on it, grate cheese on top, and broil. We refer to it as "Toast Pizza". It is a good sandwich alternative (similar in ingredients and calories). We are keeping toast pizza in mind for baby lunches, as things can get pretty boring for him.
Back to this lunch though....
So, we decided to use the bread as a base for pizza. We have some little packets of tomato sauce that came with pre-made pizza crusts (which we no longer buy as they were ALWAYS moldy). I had some trouble slicing the bread, but it worked out as there was a Daddy, Mommy, and Baby sized pizza in the end.
We gather topping from the fridge: leftover artichoke hearts, green olives, 1/2 an onion, 1/2 a tomato, mozzarella cheese, as well as defrosting two anchovies from the freezer for Charlie and I. Matt doesn't like anchovies, but I am pretty sure that people who don't think they like them have never actually tried them.
We then broiled the "pizza" until the cheese started to brown. I cut mine in quarters to make eating easier--it was a little floppy, and Charlie decided he needed to dip his in peach yoghurt.
