Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread slices
- 1 cup Low sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, and ground black pepper.
Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned butter mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the hot skillet.
Evenly sprinkle the shredded low sodium cheddar cheese over the unbuttered sides of the bread slices in the skillet.
Top each with the remaining two slices of bread, buttered side up.
Let the toasty cook on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip each toasty with a spatula and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Cut each toasty diagonally and serve warm.
