Making Cheese on Toast
Making cheese on toast is easy! You start with a slice of bread, which can be toasted first or not. Then, you put cheese on one side. After that, you melt the cheese, usually under a grill until it's bubbly and golden.
Popular Toppings
You can add lots of different things to your cheese on toast to make it even tastier! Some common toppings include:
- Chopped onions, which can be raw or cooked with the cheese.
- Sauces like brown sauce or tomato ketchup.
- Pickled cucumber or Branston pickle.
- Fried tomatoes or baked beans.
- A dash of Worcestershire sauce.
Fun Variations
Sometimes, people like to put something on the bread before adding the cheese. This can be a thin layer of:
- Tomato slices.
- A savory spread like Marmite (popular in the UK) or Vegemite (popular in Australia).
- Cream cheese spread.
- A little bit of mustard.
Best Cheese to Use
Cheddar cheese is often the top choice for cheese on toast because it melts really well and tastes great when toasted. Some people in Lancashire, England, even say that Lancashire cheese is the best for this dish! In Scotland, for "roasted cheese," the bread doesn't always need to be toasted before the cheese is added.
