Josephinas

Josephinas are a quick and zesty appetizer that take minutes to throw together with a minimal amount of ingredients as well. Think cheesy garlic toast with the addition of diced green chiles. Totally addictive and delicious!

Ingredients

2 sticks (8 oz.) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 4-oz. cans diced mild green chiles
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 24-inch. French baguette

Instructions

Add your softened butter, grated cheese, garlic, mayo, diced green chiles and kosher salt to the large bowl. You'll mix until well combined and then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to one day.
Slice your French baguette crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. You'll place your slices on a baking sheet spacing them 1/2-inch apart.
Take out your butter mixture from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for a few minutes. Divide the mixture onto the bread slices and spread to the edges of the toast.
Broil your toasts, one tray at a time, rotating the tray halfway through, until the tops are browned and the edges are crispy, about 4-10 minutes per sheet. Carefully watch your tray in the broiler so your toasts don't burn.

Notes

When you grate your cheese, grate it on the large holes of a box grater.

Keep a close eye on your toasts when they are in the broiler. They can go quickly from lightly browned to burnt.
