Frozen Pizza Snackers
Yum, right!?!
I thought, since the Frozen Breakfast Sandwiches and Egg Breakfast Muffins were such a hit, I should share another recipe that is so quick and easy to prepare in a large batch and freezes well for an on-the-go snack.
These Pizza Snackers are great for a small meal or a big snack. Such a great alternative to frozen pizzas or pizza rolls. Just heat them up in the toaster oven and eat! So easy!
What you need
(For 6 frozen pizzas)
3 Sandwich thins (6 halves)
6 slices Provolone cheese
1/2 cupPizza sauce
1/2 cup Mini pepperoni (or about 18-24 regular pepperoni)
6 sheets of foil
Nutrition Information
Provolone (1slice) 70cal 6g
Pepperoni minis (1oz) 140cal 13g
Tomato Sauce (1/2c) 90cal 5g
Sandwich Thins (1 whole) 100cal 1g
Roughly 158 cal and 9.5g fat per Pizza Snacker - much less if omitting the pepperoni or substituting (I use turkey pepperoni)
Separate the sandwich thins into 6 halves and place them on a sheet pan.
Here comes my favorite pan again!
Place the sandwich thins in the oven on broil until toasted. Mine took just under 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool a bit. I flip them so the bottom can cool and doesn't end up soggy.
Spoon out as much sauce as you prefer. I used just over a tablespoon on each, but it soaks in fast and I'm not much of a sauce person.
Spread the sauce around with the back of a spoon.
Place pepperoni, or the topping of your choice, on top of the sauce.
Cover with one slice of Provolone cheese. I love that it is the perfect size!
Regular sheets of foil will do but, as with the Breakfast Sandwiches, I highly recommend these foil sheets from Sams Club. They are so convenient and the perfect size!
Wrap them individually for a small meal or snack or, I would imagine, you could stack two and freeze them that way as well for a meal-sized portion.
I love how flat they are - anyone could find space for these in the freezer!
It can't get much easier. Simply open the pouch and stick the whole piece of foil right into the toaster oven. Heat until cheese is melted and they are warmed through.
If you'd like to add some more toppings when warming anything would be great and it would give it a nicer look. I freeze them with the slice of cheese on top so everything stays together a bit better, but I added a couple more mini pepperoni for looks here.

How cute are these?! Takes me back to my middle school days when it would be such a treat to come to school with a pizza lunchables box. But this looks even yummier!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I also like Lauren's idea of having this as a packable lunch idea. I'll definitely have to do this for my son.

My son would love these! I think my favorite part is the foil that works double time for freezing AND cooking. Great job!
