Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven broiler to high. Ensure an oven rack is positioned about 6 inches below the broiler.
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of garlic powder and black pepper over the butter for additional flavor.
Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the buttered side of each slice of bread.
Place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet. Line the sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup if desired.
Slide the baking sheet under the broiler. Keep a close eye on the toast as it cooks to prevent burning.
Broil for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese toast cool for about 1 minute.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
