Ingredients

Scale

Butter Mixture

  • 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Bread and Toppings

  • 8 slices white bread (cut 1-inch thick)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Italian seasoning (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Broiler: Start by preheating your oven to the broil setting to prepare for toasting the bread.
  2. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful butter mixture.
  3. Butter the Bread: Use a brush to coat both sides of each 1-inch thick slice of white bread evenly with the garlic butter mixture. Arrange the bread slices on an ungreased baking sheet.
  4. Broil First Side: Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler and toast the bread for about 1 minute on each side, or until the bread turns a light golden brown and starts to get crispy.
  5. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over one side of each toasted bread slice. Then, sprinkle Italian seasoning to taste.
  6. Broil to Melt Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the broiler and cook just until the cheese melts and bubbles, watching closely to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye during broiling as the bread and cheese can burn quickly under high heat.
  • For added flavor, you can use a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
  • Italian seasoning can be substituted with dried oregano or basil if preferred.
  • Use thick slices of bread to ensure crispy outside and soft inside texture.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
