Cheese Toast

Cheese Toast is made by melting cheddar cheese on top of toasted buttery bread.  

Sliced bread is toasted on both sides to give the Cheese Toast a satisfying crunch mixed with gooey, melted cheese.  

Quick and easy to make with just three ingredients… in a skillet on top of the stove.

PREPARE CHEDDAR CHEESE

Cheese Toast cooks quickly in a skillet on top of the stove. 

Before starting, slice or shred a small block (8 ounces) of cheddar cheese.  

Arrange on cutting board or drop it in a bowl

Place close to the stove.  

Not all slices will be used to make this toast.

Save leftovers for another use.

SANDWICH BREAD

My recipe calls for sandwich bread to be toasted on both sides in a skillet with melted butter… on top of the stove.   

The following easy steps show you how to do it.  

MELT BUTTER (SALTED OR UNSALTED) IN SKILLET

Place 2 tablespoons of butter (salted or unsalted) in a skillet over medium heat on top of the stove.   This is for 2 slices.  Use more or less as preferred.

COAT BOTH SIDES SANDWICH BREAD IN MELTED BUTTER

Use a spatula to slide bread around skillet to absorb melted butter (or margarine).

Flip over and repeat to coat second side. 

BROWN ONE SIDE OF SLICED BREAD AND FLIP OVER

Brown one side of buttered bread over medium heat (30 to 35 seconds).

Do not leave stove to avoid burnt toast. 

FLIP OVER & REDUCE HEAT TO LOW

After reducing heat, quickly arrange cheddar cheese on top of toasted side.

SERVE WARM OR HOT

 

GRILLED CHEESE VS. CHEESE TOAST

A grilled cheese sandwich is melted cheese sandwiched between two slices of bread. The sandwich is fried in a frying pan or on a griddle coated with melted butter or margarine.

Although it is a sandwich, it is commonly referred to as a Grilled Cheese… instead of Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

Cheese Toast is melted cheddar cheese on a single slice of toasted bread.

 

Cheese Toast is very filling.  Perfect for breakfast or lunch.

Also pairs well with a Easy Scrambled Eggs.

ENJOY!
