Cheese on Toast

[electrogirl]

more like a minipizza than c-o-t, but if i've got some home made tomato sauce left over i bung it on a bit of ciabatta with cheese on top and shove under the grill

mmm that is good. Melted cheese on french bread is lush too. With chorizo.

Anyone tried tomato purée under the cheese?
Maybe salsa would be good under or over the cheese?

that's a bit like wot i said

I can't quite agree with this post Qoggy ^

If if it was for a normal un-toasted sandwich I'd go for a nice un-cut wholemeal or granery but when it comes to toast I do tend to like cheap and cheerful sliced white

It melts in the mouth when you eat it! Warburton's were giving away small loaves of "Toastie" bread at Paddington a while ago. That was good eating toast-wise!

I don't think tomato puree doesn't work - it needs to be cooked out a bit but salsa could be a winner

So I won't be able to get one in the UK? It's the answer to all my cheese related problems.

Oh I am pretty sure that you can get them here.

I have just always been in the possession of Dutch ones as dad of family friends is Dutch.

Its worth getting a decent one or it will blunt quickly.

Chutney, pesto, ham, salsa all work under c-o-t.

My housemate toats some bread, puts cheese on it and melts the cheese on top in a microwave.

Skank.

But then the cheese won't go brown. And doesn't the bread go soggy?

I have done cheese on toast with pesto, tomato puree, or ham (or combinations) under the cheese.

I don't know, I imagine it would go chewy. I wash my hands of the whole affair tbh.

I developed lactose intolerance recently. A good cheese on toast is the one thing I miss the most.

 

[pigtails]

ooooh pesto - I used to use that all the time!

Thanks to this thread, the small girl and I have just had a piece of cheese on toast each.

Lightly toasted on the cheese side, then more on the plain side, then a thin layer of ketchup, the cheese and some black pepper and back under the grill.

As my grill would take about 7.5hrs to do c on t, I toast the bread i the toaster. I thinen put the toast on a pyrex plate, put on the cheese, and blast it with something like this

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Now I want cheese on toast!

Granary bread, or some nutty and grainy bread sliced into a couple of door steps.
Mature cheddar. Preferably grated or done with one of those slicer things.
Grilled. Sometimes with a dash of tabasco or Worcester sauce.

If I'm having a cheese and tomato toastie then that has to be with brown sauce.

 

[panpete]

Why do people use butter with cheese on toast?
The cheese is oily enough, or is butter just used with crumbly cheese?

I use cheapo cheddar or redleicester and not crumbly cheese.

 

[spanglechick]

life is too short for cheap cheddar! better no cheese at all.

I'm not a massive fan of cheese on toast, tbh. It always seems to make the edges of the toast very hard. give me a decent piece of crumbly, salty, seriously mature cheddar and a hunk of lovely fresh bread with butter. far nicer.

yes to the puree. puree or salsa is good on pitta bread then cover with grated cheese. i sometimes slice a mushroom on top but then we're slipping into pizza territory.

 

[derf]

Toasties.
The only real way. They must have onions and chilli sauce of course.

Philistines may sub brown or tommy sauce if you really have to .

I use either nice wholemeal sliced bread or a white poppyseed bloomer or some sesame topped white bread from the shop over the road. I grate the cheese and mix it with a teaspoon or so of English mustard. Toast the bread and stick it under the grill until the cheese is bubbling and browning and cchewy and yum yum yum. No butter on the bread. It is so good it's making me salivate thinking about it.

If you grill it, it's "toasted cheese". "Cheese on toast" is just that: cheese balanced on toast.

For the record - mature cheddar, Lea & Perrins, tabasco.

I made cheese on toast with piccalilli and cheshire cheese yesterday. It was really nice.

 

[Rollem]

oh well, sod you then sheo

[mentalchik]

I've never buttered bread before toasting the cheese.......how queer !

You are so wrong. Cheese on toast is always grilled.

Not so. My dad sometimes has just cheese balanced on toast. He tends to have it with a hot chili sauce. Quite nice actually.
