CHEESE ON TOAST - CHEAP AND CHEERFUL BRITISH TOASTED CHEESE
Call it what you will, traditional British cheese on toast is a national institution, an iconic snack enjoyed by all, regardless of class or background! What can be simpler and tastier, hunks of homemade or crusty farmhouse style bread topped with mature Cheddar cheese, a smidge of mustard and Worcestershire sauce for those who desire an extra kick! This is NOT really a recipe; it is a basic method for making a super tasty and nutritious fast food dish. There is even a Cheese on Toast Day celebrated in the UK - mark your calendars now, the last Thursday in April has been set aside for this comforting supper treat. I lived on cheese on toast whilst I was a student, as I am sure most students do nowadays! You can use other British cheeses, but I find the best cheese without a doubt, is a good mature farmhouse cheddar. Make sure your bread is thickly sliced and you have your plates ready and waiting to receive the molten cheesy snack - pull up a chair by the fireside in the winter and enjoy your 5-minute culinary efforts! (This is an all year around snack I hasten to add.) An interesting historical note; toasted cheese was served as the final course to male diners during Edwardian times, in Gentleman's Clubs........the cheese was melted and served in a pot with the toast set around the edges - a sort of Gentleman's Club fondue!

Steps:
- Preheat the grill to hot and toast the bread on both sides. Spread a little mustard on each slice, then top with the cheese, laying the slices of cheese as close as possible to the edges of the toast. (Pile the grated cheese over the top evenly, again as close to the edges as possible.).
- Sprinkle over the Worcestershire sauce to taste then pop the cheese on toast under the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with Branston pickle, chutney, relish and/or pickled onions.
- Serves 2 to 4 depending on "greed level" and hunger! Alternatively, serves an impoverished student as a main course meal!
- Tip - for full flavour, use a mature Farmhouse Cheddar and good quality thick sliced bread - I prefer white, but granary and wholemeal are fine.
- Final note - Cooking Style.
- There are generally two schools of Cheese on Toast Chefery, those who use grated cheese, and those who use slabs of cheese. It has even been suggested that peoples personality is reflected in how they cook their cheese on toast.
- Slabbers are direct and focused. The key for them being that is quick, easy, and generates minimal washing up.
- Graters tend to be more extravert and creative. They will spend minutes piling extra cheese onto each piece of the toast. Most of this cheese will fall off the toast when its inserted under the grill. Slabbers tend to think that the amount of grated cheese piled on a slice of toast is inversely proportional to the chance of being made to clean the grill pan.
- Obsessive Slabbers. An obsessive slabber will arrange the slices of cheese to totally cover the bread, not overlap the sides of the bread, and not overlap each other.
- Warning:A Slabber will generally be happy to be given a plate of grated Cheese on toast, but Graters always look disappointed with slab Cheese on toast! Relationships have ended over this point.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the Cheddar, Monterey Jack, mayonnaise, Parmesan, butter, salt, pepper and seasoned salt.
- Cut the loaf in half lengthwise, then into thirds or fourths. Evenly spread the cheese mixture onto the bread pieces. Wrap each piece in a foil "purse," leaving a little room at the top between the cheese and the foil.
- The bread can either be frozen for later, or baked right away. If baking right away, place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. If cooking from frozen, bake on a baking sheet at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
BRITISH CHEESE TOAST
My friend, Mandy, spent part of her childhood living in Great Britain. One of the loves we share is good food. She introduced these to me at one of our Ladies Movie Nights. They were made with rye bread and, even though I don't like caraway seeds, they became an instant favorite! I've tweaked it a bit, and Mandy and I have been...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On an ungreased baking sheet, lay the bread slices side by side.
- 2. in a small mixing bowl, mix mayo, Worchestershire, mustard, and pepper. Add cheese and mix until thoroughly coated.
- 3. Place one slice of zucchini on each slice of bread. (I hide a couple shreads of cheese under the squash to help it stick.)
- 4. Spread cheese mixture on top, being sure to cover bread all the way to the corners. (The first time I made this, I just put a dollop in the middle. It tasted great, but corners of the bread got really crunchy.)
- 5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot or cold.
- 6. Other possible add-ins with which to experiment: chopped crab meat chopped salad shrimp chopped green onions
Tips:
- Choose the best bread: For the ultimate cheese on toast experience, select a thick, sturdy bread that can hold up to the gooey cheese and flavorful toppings. Look for a bread with a slightly crispy crust and a soft, chewy interior, such as sourdough, French bread, or a hearty whole-grain loaf.
- Use real butter: Don't skimp on the butter! Real butter adds a rich, decadent flavor that margarine or other spreads can't match. Spread a generous layer of butter on each slice of bread before adding the cheese.
- Select quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make all the difference in your cheese on toast. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a bold flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or mozzarella. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as blue cheese, goat cheese, or brie, to create unique flavor combinations.
- Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to customize your cheese on toast with a variety of toppings. Popular options include sliced tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, crumbled bacon, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Get creative and experiment with different ingredients to find your perfect combination.
Conclusion:
Cheese on toast is a simple yet satisfying dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can create a delicious and comforting meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give cheese on toast a try. You won't be disappointed!
