Cheese Oregano Toast

So for the ingredients:

We will need

• 2 layers of bread(white or brown)
• 1 cheese cube 
• Some oregano

And we will need a toaster.

So now lets have a look at its method..

•  First of all take a layer of bread and place some thin layers of cheese on it. Put more layers if you want extra cheese oregano toast.
• Then sprinkle some oregano on it. I would prefer to sprinkle more oregano as it would taste superb.
• Then cover this layer of bread with the other one and carefully place it in the toaster. Preheat the toaster before placing the toast in it.
• Apply some butter on the upper surface of your toast so that when it goes in the toaster, it will get a nice brown color on it. 
• Keep looking your toast time to time by opening the toaster. 
• Take it out when it seems to have turned brown and crispy.
• Place it on a plate and serve.

One specialty apart from its taste is that this toast is equally tasty when it is cold and hot.
