Description
This Sizzler-style cheese toast is warm, buttery, and irresistibly cheesy — the kind of simple comfort food that instantly brings back sweet memories. Crispy on the edges, soft in the center, and topped with a rich blend of melted cheese and butter, it’s perfect as a side dish, snack, or even a meal all on its own. One bite and you’re right back at the table, savoring the joy of a timeless favorite.
Ingredients
6 slices thick white bread (Texas toast or sandwich bread)
½ cup butter, softened
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp works best)
¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack or Colby cheese
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, but classic)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Make the cheese spread
In a bowl, mix the softened butter, shredded cheeses, garlic powder, and salt until well combined and creamy.
Prepare the bread
Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
Bake
Place the bread slices cheese-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Broil for the signature finish
Switch the oven to broil and broil for 1–2 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and slightly crisp. Keep a close eye so they don’t burn.
Serve warm
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, then serve warm and enjoy every nostalgic bite.
Tips
For extra authenticity, don’t overcomplicate it — simple cheese and butter is the magic.
Serve alongside a salad, steak, or enjoy it just like you did at Sizzler… all by itself
