About Cheese Toast

Cheese Toast is a simple recipe where bread slices are buttered, toasted and then topped with grated cheese. It can be made on dosa tawa or in a toaster. Both works fine. Making it on tawa gives better control and also a nice crisp base. It is also easy to flip and check while cooking.

The texture comes soft and crisp together. Bread turns golden and crisp at bottom while the cheese melts soft on top. Oregano and chilli flakes adds light flavor and aroma. It does not make it too spicy or strong. Even kids usually like this mild taste. It is quick, comforting and everyone at home likes it.

• Cheese - I grate and used for that cheesy pull, you can add processed or mozarella cheese.
• Oregano - I added for mild flavor and light aroma. It gives simple seasoning without overpowering the toast.
• Chilli flakes - I added little chilli flakes for slight spice. This is optional and can be reduced for kids.

How to make Cheese Toast Step by Step

1.Take butter at room temperature. Add oregano, salt and chilli flakes to it.

2.Mix it. Now get ready with the butter spread, cheese and bread slices

3.Spread the butter on both the sides on each bread. Heat dosa tawa, place the bread slices carefully. I toasted 2 slices at a time.

4.Toast till slightly golden, then sprinkle cheese op top to cover up,simmer the flame then cook covered for few seconds.

5.Cook till cheese melts by then the bottom must have become crisp. Remove from tawa, sprinkle a pinch of chilli flakes, oregano then cut and serve.

Serve hot.

Expert Tips

• Butter mix - I always mix butter with oregano, chilli flakes and little salt before spreading. This helps the flavor spread evenly and bread gets taste in every bite. Sometimes I mix directly without measuring also
• Toasting - I toast the bread only till it is slightly golden. If you toast it too much, it may burn later when cheese melts on top. So better not to over toast it.
• Cheese melting - I keep it on low flame and cover the pan so cheese melts slowly and evenly.
• Cheese choice - I have used mozzarella since it melts well and gives good stretch also. But any melting cheese works fine, based on what you have.
• Extra flavor - Sometimes I add little crushed garlic to the butter for extra taste. It gives nice smell and makes the toast more tasty.

Serving and Storage

Serve cheese toast hot straight from tawa. It taste best when cheese is still melted and soft. You can cut into halves or triangles before serving. This is best eaten fresh and should not be stored, as it turns soggy once cooled down. If needed, reheat on tawa for few seconds, not more.
