Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Bread slices
- 1 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare a toaster oven.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Place the bread slices, buttered side down, on a baking sheet or toaster oven tray.
Sprinkle approximately 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese over each slice of bread, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Season the cheese-topped bread with a light sprinkle of salt and black pepper to taste.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven or the toaster oven.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and starting to bubble with golden brown spots.
Remove the cheese toast from the oven and let it cool for a minute to allow the cheese to settle.
Serve the warm cheese toast on a platter or cutting board, and slice if desired.
