Let’s Make Easy Cheese Toast

We’re big fans of all things grilled cheese, and let’s just think of this as an open-faced grilled cheese — let us introduce you to: easy cheese toast! Your new favorite pasta side or soup dipper.

Featured Ingredients

Texas Toast: You can typically find Texas toast bread in the bread aisle of your grocery store. It is double the thickness of regular sandwich bread, and we used this brand.

If you are having a hard time finding Texas toast bread, then you can use an Italian loaf of bread cut into thick slices.

Shredded cheese: cheddar cheese is great for this toast because of its creamy meltability. Feel free to use shredded sharp cheddar or shredded aged cheddar.

Unsalted butter: just like grilled cheese, you’ll spread unsalted butter on the Texas toast before air frying.

Make it fancy: top your easy cheese toast with a spoonful of your favorite preserves. It’s a delish way to elevate this cheese toast!
