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.
