Melted Cheese On Toast - An Easy Snack Anytime.

If your looking for a quick and easy family snack, cheese on toast is the way to go. So quick, simple and economical it's hard to beat.

But sometimes it can be a bit boring. An open sandwich of melted cheese on a slice of toast is fine (and I love it) but how about adding a bit of extra flavor.

On this page I have a couple of interesting and delicious variations for you to try. I hope you enjoy them.

Basic Cheese On Toast

Instructions for basic cheese on toast couldn't be easier.

Toast your bread - You can use just about any type of bread, (regular white sliced bread, wholemeal, multi-grain, vienna etc.) Just use what ever you have.

Butter the toast if you wish, or spread with your favorite sauce - tomato, bbq, relish.

Top with slices of nice, tasty cheese and be generous with it, plenty of cheese is good. Pop under the grill until it melts and starts to bubble and slightly golden. Hey presto it's done. What could be easier?

You can use any cheese that you might use in a grilled cheese sandwich. I usually use cheddar but you can try whatever takes your fancy.

Make It Into A Meal

Ok, I know it may not be the healthiest of meals, but it's a very easy and satisfying way of feeding the hungry hordes. Alternatively you could simply add a nice green salad for a healthier version. Some people like to serve their cheese on toast with soup. I like it with tomato soup best.

Cheese On Toast Recipes

Try these yummy variations

Variety is the spice of life, so go ahead and try these simple and yummy variations. Instructions are simple following the above basic intructions.

Banana and Bacon
Put slices of banana on the toast. Sprinkle with diced bacon, cover with sliced cheese and grill. Garnish with a sprig of parsley and cut into fingers to serve. You can serve this for breakfast, lunch or anytime you want an easy snack. I love this one. Try it! You might be surprised how well the flavors go together.

Avocado and Chicken
Or try this one - sliced avocado, shredded cooked chicken topped with cheese. Add a bit of salt and pepper to the advocado to enhance the flavor. It's a great way to use up left over roast chicken. Ham works well with this too. Yummy.

If avocado isn't available try asparagus fresh or canned. When using canned asparagus remember to drain it well or it will be a bit soggy.

Ham and Tomato
Of course you can also use sliced ham and tomatoes. This is best if you can get some nice smoked ham off the bone, rather than the paper thin sliced stuff from the deli. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

Or try this one. Chop some spring onions and cherry tomatoes and place in a bowl and add some dried chilli flakes. Add a cup of grated cheese. Put on top of toasted bread and sprinkle with worcestershire sauce. Pop under grill until cheese is melted.

To make it into a meal you can always add a side serve of fries or for something healthier a nice green salad.

    This is making me too hungry! My kids and I love cheese on toast - especially for breakfast! Not sure if I'm brave enough to try the banana and bacon option, though.

    I'm about to have cheese on toast right now, actually. Your lens is making me more then ready for it.

    What an exciting, jam-packed lens! Love cheese on toast! A few variations I use, depending on personal taste though: finely diced, tasty chicken; diced Feta cheese with fine slithers of Gherkin & ham (with normal topping of cheese); a normal toasted cheese with lightly flavoured garlic croutons on top - the list is endless. I tend to think of pizza toppings which trigger off a lot of ideas, although they need slight adaptations to suit the toast. Any toasted cheese, fresh salad etc., make for a great meal and often very healthy! Thanks for sharing this great lens!

    I was looking at your lens about vegetable bakes and then this lens. I think I could hide some vegetables between the toast and the cheese. Sometimes I have to trick myself into eating veggies!

    I grinned from ear to ear when I saw this lens! We ate cheese toast probably every day while I was growing up. My brother and aunts and uncles (same age as us) LOVED it. I thought everyone in the world ate it - until I got married and my husband looked at me funny when I made it for breakfast. He said, "What is THAT?" Of course, then I had to look at him like HE was crazy. So that's how I learned that not everyone knew about this AMAZING treat. Thank you very much for the memories!!! Oh, and to let you know I came here by way of lensroll :-).
