Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Thick-sliced sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons Honey, for drizzling (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Truffle oil (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices using a toaster or in the oven for 2-3 minutes until just crisped. This step ensures the bread doesn’t get soggy later.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with the minced garlic until well combined. Spread this garlic butter evenly over one side of each sourdough slice.
In a medium bowl, mix the cheddar, Gruyère, Parmesan, heavy cream, thyme leaves, and black pepper. This will form your luxurious cheese mixture.
Divide the cheese mixture evenly over the buttered side of both bread slices, spreading it to the edges for full coverage.
Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbling, and golden brown on top.
For an extra indulgence, drizzle the toast with honey and a drop of truffle oil just before serving (optional).
Serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and warm. Pair with a fresh side salad or tomato soup for a complete meal.
