Instructions
-
Prepare the Baking Tray: Begin by preheating your oven to the broil setting. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil to facilitate easy cleanup after cooking.
-
Cook the Bacon: Lay the bacon strips evenly across the foil-lined baking tray. Place the tray in the oven and grill the bacon until it becomes beautifully browned and crisp, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
-
Toast the Bread: While the bacon is cooking, take the baguette slices and place them on another baking sheet. Toast the bread in the oven until it is lightly browned and crisp, roughly 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and generously spread the mustard on top of each slice. Next, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each piece of toast.
-
Melt the Cheese: Return the prepared toasts to the oven and grill them until the cheddar cheese has melted to perfection, which should take another 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add the Bacon: Carefully remove the toasts from the oven and top each with the crispy bacon strips.
-
Finish and Serve: For an extra kick, sprinkle some freshly cracked black pepper over the toasts. Serve them immediately while warm, alongside your favorite soup for a delicious and hearty meal.
