Pumpernickel Toasts Recipe

Pumpernickel Toasts Recipe

  • 3/4 cup grated Fontina cheese
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 12 slices pumpernickel or rye bread, crusts removed
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  1. Stir together cheese, mayonnaise, mustard and cayenne in a small bowl. Spread over 6 of the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread to make sandwiches.
  2. Brush oil evenly over the bottom of a heavy, ovenproof cast-iron skillet. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sandwiches in batches, and cook until the undersides are lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Turn and cook the other side, about 1 minute more. Slice in half diagonally. Serve warm.
