Baguette Cheese Toast
- 8 ounces whole-grain or regular baguette, cut in half lengthwise and cut into 8 pieces
- 1 garlic clove, halved, optional
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dijonnaise
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon diet mayonnaise
- 1 cup cooked, diced chicken breast, optional
- 1 cup (4 ounces) reduced-fat grated four-cheese blend, such as Sargento
- 3 medium plum tomatoes, chopped (about 1½ cups)
Instructions:
This is a great way to take advantage of day-old French bread.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Line a cookie sheet with foil and arrange the bread on the foil. Broil 45 to 60 seconds on each side, watching closely so it doesn’t burn. Remove from the broiler.
- Rub the garlic evenly over the top of each slice of the bread, if desired. Combine the dijonnaise and mayonnaise in a small bowl; spread evenly over each slice and top with equal amounts of chicken (if desired) and cheese; broil 1½ to 2 minutes or until the cheese melts and the edges are beginning to brown lightly.
- Remove from the broiler, and sprinkle evenly with the tomatoes.
