Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices (preferably thick-cut, like sourdough or French bread)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until fully melted.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and stir them into the melted butter along with a dash of salt and black pepper.
Brush both sides of each bread slice with the garlic butter mixture. If desired, add a small drizzle of olive oil for extra crispiness.
Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle an even layer of mozzarella cheese over each slice. Top with a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden, crispy finish, switch to the broiler setting for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the toast from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and gooey. Enjoy on its own or paired with a soup or salad!
