Can I make it ahead?
Yep! You can slather the garlic-butter mixture onto your slices up to four hours ahead and keep them covered in the fridge. When you’re ready, simply broil, top with cheese, and finish under the broiler. That way, you can be a total rock star when guests drop in (or when the dinner hour sneaks up on you…again).
Is there a dairy-free option?
There sure is! Use your favorite plant-based butter and nondairy cheese shreds. They melt a bit differently (sometimes with a little less stretch), but it’s still every bit as craveable. In my experience, nobody at the table even guesses there’s no real cheese in the mix!
