These irresistible cheesy toasts are made with Gruyère or raclette, cheeses that melt wonderfully. They're perfect for dipping into a cozy stew, like this Potée Savoyard; save any extra mustard sauce for swirling into your bowl of stew at the table.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Time 10m

Yield Makes 12 toasts

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup mayonnaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 small slices rustic bread, lightly toasted
Thinly sliced Beaufort, raclette, Gruyère, or other Alpine melting cheese

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, mayonnaise, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth; season with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made up to 5 days ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container.)
  • Evenly slather lightly toasted bread slices with a layer of mustard sauce. Top evenly with cheese and place on a baking sheet; broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bread: Opt for a crusty bread that can withstand the weight of the toppings without getting soggy. Sourdough, baguette, or ciabatta are all excellent choices.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of cheeses for a complex flavor profile. A combination of a hard cheese like Parmesan, a soft cheese like Brie, and a creamy cheese like Gouda works well.
  • Add flavorful toppings: In addition to cheese, you can add a variety of other toppings to your Alpine cheese toasts for extra flavor. Sliced ham, bacon, caramelized onions, roasted tomatoes, and fresh herbs are all great options.
  • Broil the toasts until golden brown: Keep a close eye on the toasts while they're broiling to ensure that they don't burn. The cheese should be melted and bubbly, and the bread should be golden brown.
  • Serve immediately: Alpine cheese toasts are best enjoyed hot out of the oven. Serve them with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, pesto, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Alpine cheese toasts are a quick and easy snack or meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a party appetizer, a light lunch, or a cozy dinner.
