When the oven is ready, place your Texas Toast slices on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. This quick pre-bake firms up the bread so it holds all your toppings without getting soggy.
Remove from the oven. Using a spoon, press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well.
In the center of each slice, add a generous dollop of marinara sauce.
Then, add a spoonful of the cooked meat into the center of each slice.
Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Top with pepperoni slices or any of your favorite toppings.
Return to the oven, and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the toast are golden and toasted.
