Food Storage Tips
- Best enjoyed fresh! However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- To reheat, use a pan on low heat or an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 2-3 minutes.
Pro Tips for the Best Cheese Toast
- Bread choice matters: Brioche, sourdough, or Texas toast work best for a crunchier texture.
- Cheese variation: Try adding Gouda, Swiss, or Pepper Jack for a fun twist.
- Extra flavor boost: Sprinkle garlic powder, chili flakes, or Italian seasoning before toasting.
- For a crispier crust: Butter both sides of the bread before dipping into the egg mixture.
