Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Thick whole grain bread slices
- 150 grams Low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the low-sodium cheddar cheese using a box grater for even melting.
Take the slices of thick whole grain bread and spread unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice.
Place the buttered slices of bread on the prepared baking sheet, buttered side down.
Evenly distribute the grated low-sodium cheddar cheese over the unbuttered sides of the bread slices.
Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper evenly over each cheese-covered slice for added flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and toast for about 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and starts to bubble.
Once the cheese is melted and has a golden hue, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Transfer the cheesy toast to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped chives for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your low sodium cheese on toast.
