Pizza Sandwich

You know those days when you are craving something cheesy and comforting, but you can't decide between a pizza or a sandwich? Well, how about you have both with this Vegetable packed Pizza Sandwich? Crunchy peppers, garlicky pizza sauce and covered in cheese in a sandwich. It's what dreams are made of.

Pizza Sandwich

Pizza *and* sandwich are not usually 2 words you see or hear together, but we are trying to change that. This recipe has all the pizza flavours you know and love, but inside a sandwich rather on some dough.

We are all about quick and easy pizza options for when those cravings hit and along with our French Bread Pizzas, this is a favourite. Plus, we added some peppery rocket lettuce on top for a bit of colour, because more pizza needs greens on it.

Vegetable Pizza Sandwich

These Vegetable Pizza Sandwiches are packed full of vegetables, so you can make your favourite comfort foods that little bit healthier, and we could all do with some more vitamins and minerals in our life, right? We are all about the colourful meals at moment and this is bursting with colour.

How To Adapt This Sandwich

Like we try to do with all our recipes, this is really easy to adapt. Not a fan of peppers? Feel free to swap the vegetables. Mushrooms and courgettes work well. If you find rocket lettuce too peppery, then you can throw some spinach in inside.

Can't have a meal without meat in it? This pizza sandwich is a good way to use up some leftover roast meat, so shred up some chicken and add it before you put the cheese on.

Speaking of cheese, you can use lots of different cheese in this recipe. We went with slices of Swiss, but mature cheddar or mozzarella work well.

Messy Sandwiches are the Best

I'm not going to lie, this isn't really the kind of sandwich that you would make to take to work with you. Well, maybe it is, but we found them pretty messy to eat. It's more of the kind of sandwich you would make when you have some extra time to have lunch at home.

Pizza and sandwich eating should be a little bit messy though, shouldn't it? I have never understood people that eat pizza with a knife and fork. No judgement to those that do, I am sure you go home from a restaurant looking much tidier than I do, but I just think that's part of the appeal of eating pizza.
