Ingredients
- 4 slices low sodium bread
- 4 slices low sodium cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and dried basil until fully combined.
Spread the butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Place the slices of bread on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, buttered side up.
Lay one slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on top of each slice of bread.
Optionally, sprinkle a dash of ground black pepper over the cheese for an added kick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Turn on the oven's broiler and broil the cheese toast for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and toasted.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the low sodium cheese toast warm, either as is or cut into smaller pieces for sharing.
