This High Protein Pizza Toast is the best lunch for when you’re wanting something quick, easy, and satisfying! This recipe can be made gluten-free and vegan depending on the toast that you use as the base. Get creative with the toppings or stick to what I show below.
Pizza and toast are two of my favorite foods so I figured why not try them together?? Especially as a super easy, high-protein meal! I love prioritizing high-protein foods in my diet because protein is essential for a healthier body. There are so many roles it plays in our health but here are just a few:
- Helps keep blood sugar stable and keeps you satiated (fuller longer)
- Builds and repairs cells, tissues (bones, muscle, hair, skin, nails, etc.)
- Building blocks for hormones and enzymes
- Can be used as an energy source
Protein is kind of a rockstar, right?? With that being said, we might as well come up with some FUN ways to get more protein into our diet. And I’d say Pizza Toast is perfect for that, wouldn’t you? 😉

What You’ll Need For Your Pizza Toast
- Bread of choice – I used sourdough but you can use any regular or gluten-free kind!
- Marinara
- Pepperoni – Applegate is my fave!
- Balsamic glaze
- Hot honey
- Spices – I used oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
How To Make
This is pretty easy to make! Start by toasting your bread of choice. Once that’s done, on each slice spread the marinara sauce and cottage cheese and add pepperoni slices. PRO TIP: If you still aren’t a fan of cottage cheese because of the texture, blend it separately so it’s smooth before putting it on the toast. If that still doesn’t sound good, use whatever cheese (can be dairy free) you prefer!
Top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and hot honey – as much as you want! Finish by sprinkling oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. VOILA your high-protein lunch is ready for you 💁♀️
