Garlic Cheese Toast

Garlic Cheese Toast pairs softened butter mixed with garlic and a blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan cheeses spread over bread slices. Baked until the cheese melts and optionally broiled for a golden top, it yields a warm, savory toast with a rich cheesy crust and a mild garlic aroma. It’s a flexible side or snack that can be assembled from common ingredients and adapted with different cheese combinations.

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Butter one side of the pieces of bread with the 2 tablespoons butter. Place on a baking sheet butter side down.
  3. Combine remaining butter, garlic and cheeses in a food processor. Pulse until mixed.

Notes

  • If unavailable, mix the garlic cheese butter by hand or with a hand mixer instead of a food processor.
  • Any cheeses can be used; including a sharp cheese like Parmesan ensures a bold flavor.
  • This mixture can be spread on French bread slices to create a cheesy bread loaf.
