Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set out a large baking sheet.

Step 2

Lay the pieces of bread on the baking sheet. Gently butter the top sides of the bread. Then flip the bread over so the buttered side is facing down.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk well. Then stir in the shredded cheddar and cracked black pepper.

Step 4

Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over each piece of bread. Then spread it out into it even layer.

Step 5

Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the edges of the bread are golden and the center-most part of the cheese mixture is puffed up.

Step 6

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chives, and serve immediately.
