For the Garlic Butter Spread
- 3 tbsp soft butter
- 1 tsp grated garlic
- 1 tsp oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
For the Toasts
- 4 slices bread (white or brown)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the soft butter, grated garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined to form a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Apply the Garlic Butter: Evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture over one side of each bread slice, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the garlic buttered side of each bread slice.
- Bake the Toasts: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared bread slices on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted fully and the edges of the bread are golden and toasted.
- Serve: Remove the toasts from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better toasting and crunch.
- You can substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses like cheddar or a cheese blend.
- Adjust garlic amount according to your taste preference.
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
