How to Make Baked Cheese On Toast With Wine
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or country bread recommended).
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an oven-safe skillet large enough to hold the bread slices.
- Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon of dry white wine into the melted butter.
- Carefully place the bread slices in the skillet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper (or to taste) over the cheese.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
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!
