Ingredients
  

Toast Base
  • 1 loaf baguette sliced into 1-inch rounds
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cloves garlic minced finely
Toppings
  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 3 tbsp honey for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Frying pan
  • Bread knife
  • Small mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven broiler (grill setting). Slice the baguette into thick rounds.
  2. In a small bowl, mix softened butter and minced garlic until combined.
  3. Spread a thin layer of garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.
  4. Pan-fry the slices butter-side down over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. Transfer bread to a baking sheet, toasted side down. Spread remaining butter on the top side.
  6. Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  7. Broil for 2-4 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and spotted with golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven. Immediately drizzle with honey and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Use a block of mozzarella and shred it yourself for the best melt. For a spicy kick, use hot honey or add chili flakes.
