Crunchy Cheese Toast Recipes

ULTIMATE CHEESE TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat a broiler. Place the bread on a baking sheet and broil it 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly toasted.
• Spread the bread with a thin coating of mayonnaise, then Dijon mustard. Top with 1 pinch salt. Add the shredded cheese and sprinkle with oregano.
• Place the toast bake on the baking sheet. Broil again for about 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!

FRESH TOMATO SOUP WITH CRISPY CHEESE TOAST

Steps:

• Remove cores from tomatoes and cut in half crosswise. Reserve until needed.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and anchovy and cook until garlic is sizzling in the hot fat, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Carefully add the tomatoes with their juices, salt, and red pepper flakes. Toss with a spoon every few minutes until the tomatoes release their liquid and start to break down.
• Once the tomatoes have softened and start to collapse, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have fallen apart and the soup resembles a coarse tomato sauce, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone liner. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Top each slice with sliced basil, and then Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is well browned and crispy around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Remove soup from heat and pass through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Use the back of a ladle to push all the tomato mixture through. Discard the skins and seeds, which should be the only things left in the strainer.
• Transfer the strained tomato soup back into the saucepan and place back over medium-low heat. Continue cooking to thicken slightly, if desired, or simply bring back to a simmer and serve immediately with the cheese toasts.

CHEESE TOAST

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise and mustard; spread on one side of each slice of bread. Cut each slice into four triangles; place with plain side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.

CRUNCHY BAKED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl; dip toast into egg mixture and press into crushed corn flakes until coated. Arrange coated toast in a single layer in a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes per side.

CHEESE TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats) and cooling racks.
• In a small bowl, stir thyme and cayenne pepper into oil. Place bread on racks in one layer. Brush with oil. Sprinkle cheese evenly over bread.
• Bake until golden and crunchy, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on racks. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

CRUNCHY CHEESE TOASTS

Steps:

• Slice the bread about 1/2" thick and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Combine the oil, thyme and cayenne in a bowl; whisk to blend and brush on the bread slices.
• Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 300 degrees until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Serve immediately.

CHEESE TOAST

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the Cheddar, Monterey Jack, mayonnaise, Parmesan, butter, salt, pepper and seasoned salt.
• Cut the loaf in half lengthwise, then into thirds or fourths. Evenly spread the cheese mixture onto the bread pieces. Wrap each piece in a foil "purse," leaving a little room at the top between the cheese and the foil.
• The bread can either be frozen for later, or baked right away. If baking right away, place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. If cooking from frozen, bake on a baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.

FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a bowl or shallow dish that will fit the bread, beat the egg, milk and a pinch of salt with a fork until very smooth and bubbly on top.
• Add both bread slices (it's OK to stack them if they don't quite fit) and soak them, turning a few times, until the mixture is fully absorbed.
• Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl it around the pan until it melts. The soaked bread will be really soft, so carefully pick up each slice by sliding your whole hand under it, then setting it in the pan. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the slices, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the other sides are brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Enjoy hot, with more butter spread over the slices and with your favorite toppings.
