Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (ground)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice. This will help achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
On the non-buttered side of two bread slices, spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard evenly across the surface.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Divide the cheese mixture equally and spread it over the mustard-covered sides of the two bread slices. Ensure it is evenly layered for consistent melting.
Cover each slice with the remaining bread, buttered side facing outward, to form two sandwiches.
Place the sandwiches on the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted completely.
Remove the toasties from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting them into halves or quarters.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for added freshness and color.
Serve warm and enjoy your Mustard Cheese Toasties with a side of soup, salad, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
