Ingredients

• 4 pieces bread slices (preferably sourdough or thick-cut white)
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or turn on the broiler setting if your oven has one.

Step 2

Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.

Step 3

Place the buttered bread slices on a baking sheet, buttered side facing down.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, grated mozzarella cheese, milk or heavy cream, garlic powder, dried oregano (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well until you get a thick, cheesy paste-like consistency.

Step 5

Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the bread slices, spreading it on the unbuttered side. Make sure the cheese mixture covers the entire surface for gooey, cheesy perfection.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 7

If you’re using a broiler, broil the toasts for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 8

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the toasts cool for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

If desired, garnish with chopped chives or parsley for a fresh, herby touch.

Step 10

Serve the Hearty Cheese N Toast warm and enjoy it as a quick snack or an accompaniment to soups and salads.
