What I Crave: Garlic Cheese Toast

Whenever mom made spaghetti (which was at least every other week), we had garlic cheese toast. I serve it whenever I make spaghetti. I also make it whenever I need a pick me up or I'm craving salt.

With two exceptions, I make my toast the same way my mom did. I switch Earth Balance for butter and Pecorino Romano Grated Cheese for Kraft 100% Grated Parmesan. The key to this recipe is the double toast. You have to watch carefully as you're broiling or you'll burn the toast. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients (for one slice)

• 1 slice Sourdough Bread
• 1 teaspoon Earth Balance
• Dash Garlic Salt
• 1 Tablespoon Pecorino Romano Grated Cheese

Instructions

1. Place your oven rack at the topmost position in your oven. Set oven to Broil on High.
2. Place your slices on top of a baking sheet. Lightly brown them.
3. When slices are lightly brown, flip and brown the other sides. 
4. When slices are golden brown, remove the baking sheet.
5. Spread the Earth Balance on each slice, sprinkle a dash of Garlic Salt on each slice, and top with a Tablespoon of Pecorino Romano.
6. Replace the baking sheet in the oven and broil until cheese is just melted.
