Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Rye bread slices
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda)
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely or grate them using a microplane for a smoother texture.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with softened butter, adding a pinch of salt. Mix until well incorporated.
Spread a thin layer of the garlic butter mixture onto one side of each rye bread slice.
Divide the shredded cheese evenly across the buttered side of the bread slices.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes over the cheese for a hint of spice.
Place the prepared bread slices on the parchment-lined baking sheet, cheese side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Optionally, switch to the broiler setting for the last 1-2 minutes to slightly brown the cheese. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the toasts from the oven and allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Rye Cheese Toast with Garlic!
