Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 bread slices
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly onto one side of each bread slice.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the buttered side of each slice, ensuring even coverage.
Top the mozzarella with a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the cheesy garlic toasts from the oven and sprinkle with dried or fresh parsley for garnish.
Allow the toasts to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
