Instructions

Move an oven rack to the highest position and preheat your ovens broiler on high. Butter sourdough bread and toast in a skillet over medium to medium heat. Remove and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
Spread each slice with pizza sauce. Top with a little of the freshly grated Mozzarella cheese.
Next, add sliced tomato, a pinch of kosher salt, some freshly ground black pepper and Italian seasoning (I eyeball the amounts).
Top with the remaining mozzarella and some freshly grated Parmesan cheese - to your liking.
Slip the pan under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the cheese has melted and is lightly golden in spots. Once done, immediately sprinkle with more parmesan cheese and add a little more Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, if desired.
Lastly, serve with fresh basil scattered over top.
NOTE: All amounts in this recipe will depend on the size of your sourdough. My slices are smaller, larger slices will obviously need more to cover them.
