Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your broiler to high.
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat cheddar cheese, skim milk, light mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet.
Evenly spread the cheese mixture over each slice of bread, ensuring to cover the entire surface for a nice even melt.
Sprinkle chopped chives over the top for an added burst of flavor, if desired.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
If using a broiler, broil the cheese toast on the middle rack for about 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Cut the cheese toast into halves or quarters and serve warm. Enjoy as a snack or a side to your favorite meal.
