• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 300g (12oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 baguette
• A selection of your favourite pizza toppings: ham, salami, peppers,
• anchovies, olives, chicken, rocket
• 150g (6oz) grated cheddar
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. Fry the onion until soft then add the garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook over a medium heat until the tomatoes have broken down and the watery juices have evaporated, leaving you with a lovely thick tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper and a little sugar if the tomatoes are not sweet enough. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Slice the baguette in half horizontally and then into portions about 20cm long. Spread a little of the fresh tomato sauce onto the baguette and then top with your choice of pizza toppings followed by a sprinkle of cheese. Place on a baking tray and then pop them into the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and become golden. Serve hot with salad.
