Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 24 slices Baguette (half-inch thick pieces)
Butter
- 4 tablespoons Butter (softened)
Cheese Mixture
- 2 large Eggs (binding agent)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard (tangy condiment)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce (enhances flavor)
- 2 cups Irish Cheddar (shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare it for baking the cheese toasties until perfectly golden and bubbly.
- Prepare the Bread: Slice the baguette into 24 half-inch thick pieces. This size ensures the toasties are bite-sized and perfect for serving as appetizers or snacks.
- Butter the Baguette: Spread softened butter on one side of each baguette slice to add richness and help achieve a crispy, golden base when baked.
- Make the Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the eggs, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and shredded Irish cheddar. Blend well until you have a creamy and tangy cheese filling.
- Assemble the Toasties: Spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto the buttered side of each baguette slice, ensuring each piece is well topped and ready to bake.
- Bake: Place the assembled toasties on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese mixture is puffy and golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve these bite-sized cheese toasties warm for the best flavor and delightful melty texture.
Notes
- Use softened butter for easier spreading on the baguette slices.
- Irish cheddar gives a sharp, rich flavor; you can substitute with your favorite sharp cheddar if unavailable.
- Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the toasties at their meltiest and crispiest.
- For a crunchy texture, you may toast the baguette slices lightly before adding the topping, but it is optional.
