How to Make Apple Cheddar Walnut Toasts

  1. Preheat your broiler to medium-high heat.
  2. Arrange baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Broil for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning!
  4. Remove from broiler and top each toast with 2-3 apple slices.
  5. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese over each apple-topped toast.
  6. Gently press chopped walnut pieces into the cheese on each toast.
  7. Return the baking sheet to the broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned, and the walnuts are fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from broiler and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
