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.
