Cheese on toast - how do you make yours?

BBx · 28-11-2011, 16:40

I toast the bread (in toaster or under grill - add spread if you like - I don't) and add cheese and bung under the grill till the cheese bubbles... usually add mushrooms and onions as well then nom

This random question arises from a very odd combination of cheese on toast that William produced for me last night

Still... it was better than microwaving it - which is quite diabolical!!!

I just do it different innit!

I don't toast the bread, just butter the bread, dump the cheese on top let the grill do it's thing. However, I admit I should have put it on a rack to let the underside crisp up a bit.

Oh God, soggy cheese on toast *VOM*

Yes, BBx more your way. Always toast both sides of the bread and no spread. Although for a little variety you can add a thin spreading of tomato puree once toasted, add some ham, onions and mushrooms, then cheese on top - and it's a toast pizza

One of my more popular student dishes

It wasn't soggy in the middle but it should have been put on a grill rack. So for that mea culpa. However any croque Monsieur or Madame in France never toast the bread first. And and as such that's just the way I do it.

I need to learn to make cheese on toast Ã* l'anglaise it's true. I look forward to the edification.

Toast bread, butter it (make sure you put it around the edges so they don't overcook/burn), put cheese on, grill. Sometimes I put a mixture of cream cheese and cheddar, or red leicester or I have done blue cheese with cheddar too

Not made cheese on toast in AGES!

But I tend to grill one side and then add cheese on the non grilled side with Worcester sauce til it bubbles and browns! OM nom nom!

Not allowed cheese at the moment! Booo!

Yup, I do it this way too. Toast one side, then toast the other side with the cheese already added.

I vary the actual topping depending on what I have available...

I tend not to mess about with cheese on toast. Lightly toast the bread (either in toaster or under grill), add slices of mature cheddar, add Worcester sauce or Tabasco partway through.

Beans on toast though I tend to put a layer of cheese on the toast before pouring the beans on. Melts it nicely. Add plenty of brown sauce and you got yourself a hearty meal there.

Edit: Just remembered my mate at uni who lived on a diet of whole malt loaves, McCain microwaveable chips, nuggets and wings, and Brie on toast made in the following way: toast bread, add Brie, microwave all to hell. Glerk.

Deffo grill the bread, muffin or whatever both sides then back under with the cheese to let it a little.

Toasting a little both sides first usually, but also toasting one side then adding cheese to the other and then toasting is also decent as well

No pre-toasting at all is just plain (

) wrong.
