Cheese on toast - how do you make yours?

[lostkat]

Toast well one side, lightly toast the other (no colouration, just until it starts to crisp), add cheese n ****, toast until bubbley & brown spots start to appear. I then normally burn mouth as I try to consume it whilst it's stil as hot as the surface of the sun

I find cheese on toast is one of those foods that always tastes better when someone else has made it for you

But if I'm making it, toast the bread in the toaster and then put it under the grill with the cheese on until the cheese bubbles. Oh and plenty of ketchup for dipping

[semi-pro waster]

For me it's bread into the toaster for a bit then add some spread, some decent slices of cheddar cheese and slatherings of Marmite over the cheese before grilling it until the cheese starts to bubble slightly. At least that's the aim but I usually forget about it for a bit and come back to mildly burnt cheese on toast before also scalding the roof of my mouth a la lostkat and because it's cheese it sticks like napalm.

I'm not sure how to answer the poll there, I think I'm agreeing with BBx but not 100% on that.

That's exactly the way I make it - with the same blistering result

I like mine plain with loads of salt and pepper and you must use decent mature cheddar - none of that cheap, rubbery tasteless stuff
Supermarkets will almost always have one of the big name mature cheddars on bogof (e.g. Cathedral city or the like - I wouldn't put it on a cheese board but for cheese on toast, or cheese and pickle sandwiches or macaroni cheese it's perfectly acceptable).

Perfect! Well apart from burning your mouth
