Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Trim the crusts from the bread slices for uniformity and lightly toast them to enhance their texture and prevent sogginess.
Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and a pinch of black pepper until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Assemble: Spread the cream cheese mixture generously on half of the toasted bread slices. Cover each with another slice to form sandwiches and place them on a baking sheet.
Top and Toast: Sprinkle grated parmesan over the sandwiches for a crispy finish. Bake in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the parmesan is melted and golden.
Serve and Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, remove the sandwiches from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
