Tips
When making multiple batches, make sure to take them out quickly once they get brown, because they can burn quickly.
You can use any soft cheese, such as blue cheese or camembert.
The maple toast with cheese can be served warm or at room temperature.
Use tongs instead of a fork to flip the bread, to avoid burning your fingers.
To make the maple toast with cheese ahead of time, put parchment paper between the layers of toast inside the bin to prevent them from sticking together.
