Ingredients

• 2 slices Thick-sliced sourdough bread
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 teaspoons Honey, for drizzling (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Truffle oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices using a toaster or in the oven for 2-3 minutes until just crisped. This step ensures the bread doesn’t get soggy later.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the minced garlic until well combined. Spread this garlic butter evenly over one side of each sourdough slice.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix the cheddar, Gruyère, Parmesan, heavy cream, thyme leaves, and black pepper. This will form your luxurious cheese mixture.

Step 5

Divide the cheese mixture evenly over the buttered side of both bread slices, spreading it to the edges for full coverage.

Step 6

Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbling, and golden brown on top.

Step 7

For an extra indulgence, drizzle the toast with honey and a drop of truffle oil just before serving (optional).

Step 8

Serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and warm. Pair with a fresh side salad or tomato soup for a complete meal.
