mini cheese toasts on a plate

Toma & Gouda Josephinas

Servings: 10-12


Ingredients

  • 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 ounces Point Reyes Toma, shredded (about 2 cups) 
  • 2 ounces Point Reyes Gouda, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 (4-ounce) cans diced mild green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (24-inch) French baguette, sliced into ½-inch-thick slices
  • Chopped fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine butter, Toma, Gouda, garlic, mayonnaise, green chiles and salt. Combine well with a wooden spoon or spatula. 
  2. Arrange a rack 3 to 4 inches from the broiling element and heat the oven to broil. Meanwhile, line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  3. Place the baguette slices on the baking sheets, spacing them at least ½-inch apart. Divide the butter and cheese mixture onto the bread slices (about a heaping tablespoon on each) and spread to the edges. 
  4. Broil one sheet at a time, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the tops are browned in spots and the edges of the bread are crispy, 4 to 10 minutes per sheet.
  5. Garnish with chives and serve.  
  6. Note:  Leftover topping will keep in the fridge for several days.
