- For the cheese toasts: Preheat the broiler to high. Slice a traditional or whole wheat baguette into 8 slices. Spread each slice with softened butter. Place slices on a baking sheet. Broil for 2 or 3 minutes or until toasted. Remove from oven and sprinkle each slice with about 2 teaspoons of Pecorino Romano (or Parmesan) cheese. Broil 1 more minute or until the cheese is melted.
