👩‍🍳 Instructions:

🔥 Step 1: Preheat & Prep

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil for easy cleanup.

🧄 Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
2. Spread a generous amount of this mixture onto each slice of bread.

🧀 Step 3: Add the Cheese

1. Mix the mozzarella and cheddar together in a bowl.
2. Sprinkle a big handful of cheese onto each slice. Want it extra cheesy? Add a second layer. You’re the boss. 😎

🔥 Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melty and golden.
2. For extra bubbly cheese, broil on high for 1–2 minutes (watch it like a hawk so it doesn’t burn!).

💡 Ashley’s Flavor Tips:

• Add chopped green onions, bacon bits, or jalapeños on top before baking for a twist! 🌶️🥓
• Want it creamier? Spread a little cream cheese under the butter mix before adding the cheese! 🤯
• Leftover toast? Pop it in the air fryer for 3–4 min to re-crisp it like new!
