Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (thick slices)
- 1 cup Cheese (sharp cheddar, grated or sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional, if cheese is not salty)
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper (optional, freshly ground)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your broiler on high.
Step 2
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Step 3
Place the bread slices, buttered side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Step 4
Top each slice with an even layer of grated or sliced cheese, ensuring the cheese reaches the edges for crisp, cheesy sides.
Step 5
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the cheese.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. For extra crispness, switch to the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the cheese toast from the oven and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy on its own or with a bowl of soup or salad.
