Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 4)
- 4 slices thick-cut white bread (like Texas toast or brioche, ~1 inch thick)
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Optional: 1 tbsp chopped parsley, pinch of red pepper flakes, or grated Parmesan
💡 Pro Tips:
- Use real butter—margarine won’t crisp or flavor the same.
- Shred your own cheese—pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that don’t melt smoothly.
- Don’t skimp on thickness—thin bread burns; thick slices stay tender inside.
