Cheese toast, a timeless classic, combines simplicity with irresistible flavors that appeal to both kids and adults alike. Whether enjoyed as a hearty breakfast, a satisfying snack, or even a light dinner, cheese toast never fails to please. Here’s how you can whip up this delectable treat in just a few easy steps:

Ingredients:
- Slices of bread 
- Butter, softened
- Grated cheese 
- Optional: Herbs (such as parsley or chives), black pepper, or chili flakes for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
   - Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). If you prefer using a toaster oven or a regular toaster, those work well too.

2. Butter the Bread:
   - Take slices of bread and spread a generous amount of softened butter on one side of each slice. This helps in achieving a golden, crispy texture when toasted.

3. Add Cheese:
   - Sprinkle a layer of grated cheese evenly over the buttered side of the bread slices. The amount of cheese can vary based on personal preference, but aim for enough to cover the bread without overwhelming it.

4. Optional Seasonings:
   - For added flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped herbs like parsley or chives over the cheese. A dash of black pepper or chili flakes can also add a subtle kick.

5. Toast the Cheese Toast:
   - Place the prepared slices on a baking sheet or directly into your toaster oven. If using a regular toaster, set it to toast the bread until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread turn golden brown.

6. Serve Warm:
   - Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the cheese toast from the oven or toaster. Carefully transfer it to a plate and serve immediately while it's warm and gooey.
