Preparing the Bread

Begin by selecting your preferred type of bread. For a classic experience, white or whole grain breads are ideal, but feel free to use what you have on hand. Lightly toast the bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness either in a toaster or on a stovetop grill. The goal is to achieve a warm, slightly crisp base that will complement the cheese.

Adding Cheese

Once the bread is toasted, immediately lay 2 slices of your chosen cheese on the warm bread. The heat from the bread will slightly soften the cheese without fully melting it, allowing its texture and flavor to stand out more distinctly than if it were melted. Cheddar, Swiss, or even a creamy Brie are excellent choices, each offering a unique taste experience.

Optional: Adding Butter or Spread

If desired, a thin layer of butter or your favorite spread can be applied to the toast before adding the cheese. This step is optional but recommended for an extra layer of flavor and moisture. Choose a spread that complements the cheese for the best result.
