Description
Quick and easy garlic cheese toast that’s warm, cheesy, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bread (any bread of choice)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons garlic (minced or finely chopped)
- 1 to 1½ cups cheese (grated or slices; mozzarella recommended)
- Salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (or cilantro/coriander leaves)
- ¾ teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (or coarse crushed black pepper)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the softened butter and minced garlic until well combined to create garlic butter.
- For stovetop preparation: Heat a pan over medium heat. Butter one side of the bread slices with the garlic butter, then toast until the bottom is crisp. Flip the bread, layer on cheese, herbs, and chili flakes, cover, and toast on low heat until the cheese melts.
- For oven preparation: Preheat your oven to 190°C (370°F). Spread garlic butter on one side of the bread, place on a baking sheet, and toast for 7-8 minutes or until crisp. Layer cheese, herbs, and chili flakes, then return to the oven for another 3 minutes or until golden and melted.
- Serve hot for the best experience.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder to the butter mixture. Experiment with different cheeses for a gourmet twist.
