Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bread slices (preferably thick-cut, like sourdough or French bread)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 small Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until fully melted.

Step 3

Finely mince the garlic cloves and stir them into the melted butter along with a dash of salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Brush both sides of each bread slice with the garlic butter mixture. If desired, add a small drizzle of olive oil for extra crispiness.

Step 5

Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle an even layer of mozzarella cheese over each slice. Top with a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 6

Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

For a golden, crispy finish, switch to the broiler setting for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 8

Once done, remove the toast from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately while warm and gooey. Enjoy on its own or paired with a soup or salad!
