- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 thick slices crusty bread
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
- 1/3 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Whisk melted butter and milk together with a fork. Soak the bread slices in the milk mixture, turning to cover both sides completely. Sprinkle half of the thyme over one side of the bread pieces.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat, and fry the bread, thyme-side down, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining thyme over the bread; turn over and fry until lightly browned, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet; sprinkle with the Cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately with salt and cracked pepper.
