  • Add the cheese:
    Place the buttered bread slices on a baking sheet. Top each one generously with shredded cheese.
  • Bake or broil:
    • For a softer texture with golden edges: Bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    • For a crispier finish: Broil for 2–3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
  • Garnish and serve:
    Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top and serve hot.

    Variations to Try

    • Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños before baking.
    • Pizza Toast: Spread a little marinara on top before adding cheese for a pizza-inspired twist.
    • Extra Garlic: Rub raw garlic on the bread before buttering for a more intense flavor.
