  • 2 large eggs
  • Dry White Wine

  • 2 tablespoons butter

How to Make Baked Cheese On Toast With Wine

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup shredded cheese (e.g., Gruyere, cheddar, or a blend), 2 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons of dry white wine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or country bread recommended).
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an oven-safe skillet large enough to hold the bread slices.
  5. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon of dry white wine into the melted butter.
  6. Carefully place the bread slices in the skillet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper (or to taste) over the cheese.
  8. Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
