Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Thick, sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up better to the toppings and prevent them from making the bread soggy.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your bacon and cheddar toasts will taste. Look for thick-cut bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and flavorful bread.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: Crispy bacon is the key to great bacon and cheddar toasts. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat until it's browned and crispy on both sides.
- Use plenty of cheese: Don't be shy with the cheese! Use a generous amount so that every bite is loaded with cheesy goodness.
- Broil the toasts until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will give the cheese a nice golden brown color and make it irresistibly gooey.
