Cheese Toasters
Crispy, golden, and irresistibly gooey, Cheese Toasters are the ultimate comfort food that comes together in just 15 minutes! Perfectly toasted bread slices are slathered with a savory garlic and herb butter, then filled with a generous helping of melted cheese—think cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend. A quick sear in a hot skillet creates a crunchy exterior, while the inside oozes cheesy goodness with every bite. Customize with a sprinkle of dried oregano or a hint of black pepper for added flavor, and serve these cheesy delights warm, paired with a tangy dipping sauce or a fresh side salad. Whether you're whipping up a snack, lunch, or late-night indulgence, these easy Cheese Toasters will quickly become a household favorite.

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground, optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the butter, garlic powder, dried oregano (if using), salt, and black pepper to create a flavored butter spread.
Spread a thin, even layer of the flavored butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place two of the bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface (like a cutting board).
Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the unbuttered sides of the bread slices on the board.
Top with the remaining bread slices, ensuring the buttered sides face outward.
Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the preheated skillet or griddle.
Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
Remove the cheese toasters from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly before slicing them in half.
Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
