Cheese and onion is the winner in my opinion. Red onion if I've got some.
YEsterday I made a toasted sandwich with feta, tomato and red onion and a splash of Lea & Perrins. Was ok- would have been a lot better with good old chedder though.

Not really into melted cheese. No doubt another reason for teuchter not to trust me...

 

[salem]

I got into cheese on toast (regular kind) from an ex who used to make it for me. I've never quite got it right myself though.

Any advice on the best type of cheese to use?

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Surely if the cheese is grilled it's toasted cheese, not cheese on toast? Sepps would call it grilled cheese in their nasty prosaic way.

I had this for tea tonight, bloody lush it was too.

You're having a chip butty?

I had cheese on the toasts, but I didn't have the bokkle of Lee and Perrins I thought I had so I opted for next best (Branstonia Picklés).

 

[Kuso]

you need to stick some horseradish radish sauce on the toast under the cheese then black pepper and mixed herbs and red onion on top.

Either that, or just cheese and chilli sauce will do just as nicely...

 

[Badgers]

My preference is medium toasted white sliced bread.
Butter then a bit of mayo and pepper on the base.

Cheese sliced ideally but grated is okay.
Medium or ideally mature cheddar but will have red Leicester or double Gloucester.

Dash of Lea & Perrins on the top and under the grill.

pogofish will be very pleased with you, Badgers. Five year old thread.

Thickly sliced homemade bread, some chutney (a friend gave me some spicy apple chutney she'd made which was perfect, but any type is good) and topped with mature/extra mature cheddar

 

[mrsfran]

Apple chutney and mature cheddar on toast. Of course. That is genius and I must try it.

Very timely reminder - I mustn't have cheese on toast since about 2008. Will have to do some today.

 

[pogofish]

I had some yesterday - with garlic/chipotle sauce instead of Lee & Perrins!

And has cheese/L&P changed much in the last five years?

You can now get L & P - flavoured cheese.

How lazy is that!

 

[mrsfran]

You can get ketchup- and tabasco-flavoured too. Available in all good Waitrose.

Presumably middle class people are absolutely bone idle then.

There is only Linghams sauce. All other sauces will have to be called something else.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

The trick is to splash the L&P half way through grilling.

Use a thick cut slice of bread. Using the back of a spoon squash the bread into a bowl. Pour in cream. Add slices of tomato and sprinkle with oregano. Grill to warm. Then add thick slices of mature cheddar. Grill until melted then add Lea & Perrins. Grill until a crust forms on the surface of the cheese.

Just read the thread and now grilling cheddar sliced on white toast with apple chutney. Yum

In the last 5 years nobody has had garlic/chipotle sauce with cheese on toast and posted about it here.

Now that would be worthy of its own thread!

Technology never ceases to amaze!

I've had it a few times in the last couple of weeks - rather nice.

And the last time I did some noodles, I used Sesame oil and Lee & Perrins instead of garlic/chipotle - which was quite nice for a change.

Sesame oil is great for noodles and they do a sort of shredded flat bread fried in it here too I love (with just a bit of onion, garlic and white cabbage, perfect gut liner) plus it's very cheap by UK standards.

 

[pogofish]

I must try frying some of my Spelt bread in some - Makes for superb tasting cheese on toast, with or without the above sauces and is great in a full fry-up too (esp fried heels). Never tried it with Sesame though!

 

[KeeperofDragons]

Sadly, Lea & Perrins put anchovies in their Worcestershire sauce, which means it's off-menu for some stricter vegetarians...

Henderson's has a very similar taste but no anchovies
