Cheese Toasties

Cheese Toasties Recipe

Ingredients:

- 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)

- 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)

- 2 tablespoons butter, softened

- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Servings:

- Makes 2 servings (2 toasties)

Instructions:

1.Prepare the Bread:

   - Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.

   - If using, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder and black pepper on the buttered sides.

2. Assemble the Toasties:

   - Place 2 slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface.

   - Divide the grated cheese evenly between the two slices.

   - Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

3.Cook the Toasties:

   - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

   - Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly.

   - Alternatively, use a sandwich press or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes.

4.Serve:

   - Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

   - Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes:

- Add extras like sliced tomatoes, ham, or a teaspoon of mustard inside for variety.

- Cooking time may vary depending on your appliance; adjust heat to avoid burning the bread while ensuring the cheese melts fully.
