Indulging in a warm, cheesy delight that brings the essence of a French bistro to your table is a treat you deserve tonight!

1

Begin by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).

2

While the oven is heating, take a small bowl and mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, and herbs. This mixture will give a lovely flavor to the bread.

3

Spread a generous amount of the garlic herb butter on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the entire surface for the best flavor.

4

Place the slices of bread, buttered side up, on a baking sheet.

5

Next, sprinkle the cheese evenly over the slices of bread, making sure to cover them well. If you’re using different types of cheese, feel free to mix and match your favorites.

6

Now, add a little pepper to taste for a subtle kick. If you enjoy extra flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of salt.

7

Once your oven has reached temperature, place the baking sheet in the oven.

8

Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

9

Once done, carefully remove the tartines from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving.

Optional: Serve with a fresh salad or a side of soup for a complete meal experience.

• Try making a sweet version by adding fig jam and goat cheese to the bread for a delightful dessert tartine.
• Transform it into a pizza-style tartine by adding tomato sauce and toppings before baking.
• Use different types of bread (like ciabatta or sourdough) to add variety and alter the texture.

• For an extra layer of flavor, try adding some thinly sliced tomatoes or cooked bacon on top of the cheese before baking.
• If you love herbs, consider using fresh thyme or rosemary in your butter mix for a fragrant touch.
• Experiment with different cheeses such as Gruyère or blue cheese for a unique twist.
