Pimp my cheese on toast

I have brown bread (not quite defrosted, but let’s not do that again), cheddar cheese and a fridge and cupboard full of a wide range of condiments and other stuff. Oh, and a grill.

So, suggestions for cheese-on-toast-derived culinary amazingness please.

spread a little tomato puree on the bread first.

when it’s done, a dash or 5 of henderson’s relish.

That is all you need….

Keep it simple, 2 options:

1. Generous splash of Worcester sauce on top pre- grilling.

2. Marmite spread on toast before cheese going on top.

Lee and Perrins Worcestershire Table Sauce over the top of the cheese and put it under the grill again for a short time. It’s brilliant.

Schwarz Season-All ftw

2. Marmite spread on toast before cheese going on top.

This. Several slices of this.

Stick some jalapenos on it. Or Chipotle Tabasco, nice flavour.

Lots of black pepper

Henderson relish….. or pesto under the cheese. Cheese and tomato(chopped small) melted in a pan (with a dash of Hendersons, spread on toasted bread and put under grill till top browns slightly. .. pain in the arris to wash up from but blooming lovely. .. hth

Tinned sardines in tommy sauce lightly mashed and put them under the cheese. Amazing.

mango chutney under the cheese

Here’s some I prepared earlier…

Tip – toast the bread, butter the toast, add cheese, cook slowly. Pesto or Sweet Chilli on top, maybe Reggae Reggae.

Peanut butter! (no really, its bloody lovely)

this stuff goes amazing with a sharp cheddar http://karenmartini.com/cook/recipes/kasundi-relish

Right, some good ideas here.

I have adapted a couple and come up with:

Slice 1) Hot garlic pickle under cheese
Slice 2) Tomato and brown sauce under chees

I shall report back…

Chopped onions under the cheese – or chillies – HP sauce when cooked!

Right, some good ideas here.

I have adapted a couple realised I don’t have anything in the cupboard that was suggested, so am just using what I have and come up with… 😀

Hot garlic pickle

ooof, sounds the one.

Nice mature cheddar toasted to golden perfection on thick sliced home made bread, no extras or fripperies, sometimes less is more..
That’s all you need, everything else is a distraction from the cheesy goodness..
unless you’re the sort of pervert that puts sauce on bacon as well…

don’t grill it.

butter the underside of the bread, put your chosen topping on top (cheese and homemade chutney works for me) and cook it on a wire rack in the oven for 15 minutes.

chipotle tobasco

Mayo instead of butter under the cheese before toasting

sausages
or bacon
or both

Ancovies and or pesto and or peppers

Just think Pizza toppings…

2. Marmite spread on toast before cheese going on top.

This IS the best cheese on toast. FACT!

Saw a thing on telly once where they did a blind taste test, something to do with the extra taste sense we have, Umami, they gave people normal cheese on toast then cheese on toast with marmite under the cheese. Everybody liked the marmite one, even people that didn’t like marmite!!

So, I’ve cooked, consumed and cogitated and the result is:

Slice 1) Hot garlic pickle under cheese

Luverly jubbly, really, really nice.

Slice 2) Tomato and brown sauce under cheese

Satisfying in a simple way. The addition of a bit of onion would have perfected it I think.

Anchovies and or pesto and or peppers

What are you thinking man?!!!!! Anchovies have no place on any lunch menu, or any menu at all, come to that. But to defile cheese on toast in such a manner should be a criminal offence! And Pesto? BLEURGHHHHH!!!!

I think back2basics has the winner

Hendersons Relish FTW

Cheers

Mmm anchovies…

I used red pesto as a base last time. Tasty

And anyway, seeing as you’re back oop north, why not try this
to make Lancashire Sauce Cheese & Egg

A thin slice of corned beef under the cheese, a dollop ploughmans pickle maybe?

Damn this thread. I’ve rushed home from work foaming at the mouth as a result of this thread.

Cheese is in the process of being grated and I am going to be eating my body weight in cheese and what ever else I fancy spreading on toast underneath now!

Marmite and pesto is definitely a go-er, will see what else I have knocking around.

Sliced or Grated? should I start another thread?

on a slight tangent my favourite melted cheese toasted snack type thing is cheese stuffed crumpets with butter and marmite on;

slice into the side of a crumpet with a sharp knife

fill the pocket with thin slices of strong cheese

toast either in a toaster or under the grill (if under the grill definitely toast the bottoms first or the cheese will try and escape when you turn them over)

spread with butter and marmite

absolutely brilliant post ride snack with a huge cup of tea

+1 for peanut butter….

why would chops a perfectly good crumpet in half?
Shirely the ‘hole point is for the cheese to melt into the crumpet.

it’s not chopping it in half just make it into a pocket – just so much nicer with the butter and marmite on it and cheese in the middle

as with most things in life don’t knock it until you’ve tried it 😉

I have a sudden desire to make home-made crumpets now.

Nice – when shall we come round with the ccheese and marmite? 😀
