Cheese garlic toast is delicious and indulgent as a snack or appetiser that combines the irresistible flavours of melted cheese and aromatic garlic on perfectly toasted bread. It is enjoyed in many cuisines and is sometimes served in cafes and restaurants to warm people's souls, or it can be made at home for a quick warm-up snack. Crispy, light-sliced bread such as baguette or sourdough is lightly toasted to make a crunchy base. Then, fresh garlic, minced or crushed, with butter or olive oil let the rich flavours seep through it. Such a garlic mixture spreads lavishly over the toasted bread to form a tasty foundation that works for every bite. Check out this easy cheese garlic toast recipe for a delicious snack. The star ingredient, of course, is the cheese. Here's a quick recipe of cheese garlic toast. A blend of cheeses - mozzarella, cheddar, or sometimes parmesan - is very commonly used just to create the perfect melt and flavour profile. The cheese is liberally spread over garlic-buttered bread before being baked or toasted until golden brown and bubbly. This results in crispy edges, melted gooey cheese, and the unmistakable aroma of roasted garlic. The huge advantage of cheese garlic toast lies in its versatility, which can be served on its own, as an accompaniment to soups or salads, or used as a base for topping with fresh herbs, chilli flakes, or even sliced tomatoes. Whatever the setting, it is a crowd-pleaser designed for all occasions or cosy nights indoors. It can be a late-night snack pleasure, but it will surely win hearts when served at dinner parties.

• 1/6 tbsp garlic
• 33 gms mozzarella cheese
• 17 gms cheddar cheese
• 1 pinch salt
• 33 gms unsalted butter
• Mixed herbs
• French fries

• Cheese garlic toast is one of the best-loved treats, and the strong flavours of garlic and herbs come coupled with the melt-in-your-mouth richness of melted cheese and freshly baked crust.
• To begin with, preheat your oven to 180 C or 350 F. This way, the baking would be even, and that perfect golden crust would be yours.
• In the meantime, you can soften to room temperature about 33 gms of unsalted butter. This is important because soft butter spreads quickly and mixes better with all other ingredients.
• Mix softened butter with some 1/6 teaspoon finely chopped garlic for a strong flavour and a little over 1/6 teaspoon of mixed Italian herbs for a pleasant, aromatic, earthy smell in a small bowl. Do not forget to add a pinch of salt to bring all flavours out of the garlic butter mixture.
• When well combined, let this flavourful mixture sit aside, letting the herbs infuse the butter.
• You will also need about 1/6 of a loaf of French or Italian bread sliced into slices about 1.5 cm thickness, just cutting through partially to the bottom.
• This produces an astounding sandwich that fans open in the oven when baked, so the butter and cheese would ooze into every nook and cranny, so every single bite is just delicious.
• Cut the bread, spread it ultimately, and add some garlic butter mixture.
• Apply garlic butter mixture on both sides of the bread. This transfers the taste to the cheesy flavour of melted cheese.
• For the cheesy goodness, grate about 33 gms of mozzarella cheese and about 17 gms of cheddar cheese. Mixing the two cheeses gives a delicious taste and texture contrast: gooey mozzarella and sharp cheddar.
• Now it's time to put the cheese mixture between slices of bread in liberal amounts. The filling must be cheesy, melty, oozy, and dripping when the bread is baked.
• Stacking this bread is sure to show you how the flavours of garlic and herbs blend so happily into cheese to make this a treat to have.
• Once you're satisfied with the contents of the loaf, you should wrap it in aluminium foil. This will trap the moisture inside and keep the bread soft while baking.
• Place it in your oven for approximately 15 minutes. Butter melts into the bread and starts to melt cheese.
• Wait for 15 minutes before you slowly peel off the foil. At this stage, you will be tempted by the smell of garlic and melting cheese as your kitchen seems to have this heavenly fragrance.
• Return the uncovered loaf to the oven and bake it for another 5 minutes.
• In this final step, the cheese will melt well while the bread's crust will make itself golden brown, giving it a crispy exterior.
• Now that your cheese garlic toast is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
• This short cooling time will set the cheese just enough so that you can now cut it into easy slices.
• Cut into pieces for serving and to be enjoyed together with aromatic garlic.
• Cheese garlic toast is appetising to be presented as an appetiser, as a side dish, and as a snack.
• It harmonises well with soups or salads, but it is lovely just to splurge in; rich, warm, and comforting flavours burst into your senses as you finally discover the cheesy delight.
