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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
