Do you butter cheese on toast?

Do you spread Margerine or butter onto the toast before melting the cheese on it?
I do, apparently this is wrong.

I do, because I always put Marmite on the toast under the cheese and the butter helps it go on better

itshappened · 01/01/2019 13:51

I do. I thought everyone did!

DragonMamma · 01/01/2019 13:53

Another one who though everybody does this?

I lightly toast the bread first (nothing worse than a soft undercarriage) and butter the side the cheese is going on and then grill the cheese.

Interested in this thread?

Yes Blush Not a lot and didn't realise it was a thing not to have butter. Also toast the bread on both sides.

DramaAlpaca · 01/01/2019 13:56

No, and I put butter on everything.

ShartOfGold · 01/01/2019 13:56

Omg, a layer of chutney sounds delish!

Luckingfovely · 01/01/2019 13:58

Yes!

katiescarlett1939 · 01/01/2019 14:00

Yes...of course Grin

BikeTart · 01/01/2019 14:00

Yes of course I do because that's the correct way Grin

Then Branston Pickle on the top. And maybe a slice or two of tomato for the health benefits.

tinstar · 01/01/2019 14:03

Urgh - no! Marmite of course!

Galvantula · 01/01/2019 14:03

Yes. Usually spread, because I only really use butter for cooking and baking as I cba getting it soft enough to spread.

XmasHolly · 01/01/2019 14:09

No, the cheese would slide off! Grin

Love cheese on toast. It's my "feeling vaguely poorly" light lunch of choice. That with a cup of strong tea is an amazing mood pick-me-up.

No, absolutely not, way too greasy. I’ll never understand why people put butter on bacon sandwiches either.

DuggeesWooOOooggle · 01/01/2019 14:13

I don't, but I often wonder why it would be considered so much more extravagant and fatty than buttering a cheese sandwich which presumably most people do?

Highlights12 · 01/01/2019 14:21

Yes I do and I toast both sides

HeronLanyon · 01/01/2019 14:29

Never ever thought to use butter for cheee on toast - I usually use a lot of cheese - wonder if I could use less ifnused butter ?
I do use butter quite liberally when doing grilled cheese sandwich.
Have either about once a year. Now off to make some I think !

helpmedecidepleas · 01/01/2019 14:31

Of course Xmas Grin

BrusselPout · 01/01/2019 14:52

No!

AlpacaPicnic · 01/01/2019 15:05

I don't, but I do like a spread of onion marmalade under the cheese or occasionally a spoonful of sweetcorn :)

HeronLanyon · 01/01/2019 15:08

Just remembered my consumption of cheese over the last week has been truly remarkable (even had some goats cheese on toast for breakfast) and I was planning a ‘go slow’ for a bit. Very tempted - onion marmalade yum !

MeetOnTheSIedge · 01/01/2019 15:09

No and don't put it on bacon, sausage or fish finger sandwiches either, they are all greasy enough. I do love butter though.

indianbackground · 01/01/2019 15:11

Yes, a very thin layer.

abbsisspartacus · 01/01/2019 15:12

No I do put Worcester sauce on though

panoramallama · 01/01/2019 15:14

ExDP would use salad cream instead of butter. Confused

Cheese on toast for lunch today. No butter. Just cheese and ground black pepper.

I do, however, butter the outside of the bread that touches the hot plates when making cheese toasties in the sandwich toaster.

Qcng · 01/01/2019 16:00

I... spread butter on the untoasted side before putting the cheese on. I wondered whether everyone puts butter on and considered asking on MN!
Spooooooooky.

LOL I absolutely love toasted on one side then melted cheese on the other it's divine!

(I usually toast both both sides though)
