Cheese Toast

Do you really need a recipe? Probably not. But posting this is a good reminder -- for myself! -- when I'm looking for a bread or starch to round out a meal. And I had half a baguette that I wanted to use before it went stale...

Cut it thick or thin, as you like and slather it with butter. I used garlic butter and sprinkled on some Italian herbs (optional) before adding a layer of grated cheese. Parmesan is wonderful; here, I used white cheddar. Throw them under the broiler or even on the grill until the cheese is nice and melty and the bread is toasted.

So easy, so delicious!

Drizzle with a balsamic glaze to dress it up a little, or add a little bowl of marinara for dipping.
