Notes
Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier spreading
Use low to medium heat to prevent burning the bread before cheese melts
Press down gently with spatula while cooking for even browning
Try mixing herbs into the cream cheese for extra flavor
Sourdough or whole grain bread works as substitutes for white bread
Add thin slices of tomato or ham for variation
Cut diagonally for the classic presentation
