Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sliced bread (white or whole grain)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- optional toppings (e.g., sliced tomatoes, cooked bacon, green onions)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Spread the softened butter evenly over one side of each bread slice. Place the slices buttered-side-down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture and stir until the cheese is evenly coated.
Spoon the cheese mixture evenly onto the unbuttered side of each slice of bread, spreading it to cover the surface completely.
Optional: Add any desired toppings, such as sliced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, or chopped green onions.
Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges of the bread are golden-brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Cheese Dreams!
