Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 60 grams Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 10 grams Light unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) or set your broiler to high.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster until they are just beginning to get golden brown. This helps in preventing sogginess.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Grate the low-fat cheddar cheese, which allows it to melt evenly and distributes over the bread more uniformly.
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the mustard-covered side of the bread slices, covering them fully.
Place the toast slices on a baking sheet and put them in the oven or under the broiler. If using the oven, bake for approximately 5-7 minutes. If using a broiler, it may take 3-5 minutes.
Watch closely to ensure the cheese melts evenly and starts to bubble but does not burn. Remove from the oven or broiler when the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optionally, sprinkle some chopped chives over the top of the cheesy toast for a fresh garnish.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat cheese on toast with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.
