Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 60 grams Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 10 grams Light unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) or set your broiler to high.
Step 2
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster until they are just beginning to get golden brown. This helps in preventing sogginess.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Step 4
Grate the low-fat cheddar cheese, which allows it to melt evenly and distributes over the bread more uniformly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the mustard-covered side of the bread slices, covering them fully.
Step 6
Place the toast slices on a baking sheet and put them in the oven or under the broiler. If using the oven, bake for approximately 5-7 minutes. If using a broiler, it may take 3-5 minutes.
Step 7
Watch closely to ensure the cheese melts evenly and starts to bubble but does not burn. Remove from the oven or broiler when the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Optionally, sprinkle some chopped chives over the top of the cheesy toast for a fresh garnish.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat cheese on toast with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.
