Do you butter cheese on toast?

[Qcng]

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

I can't believe people don't do this?

Yes I do it's the best! DH doesn't he prefers it with butter but apparently it's too indulgent

Thin layer of mayo under the cheese is the best!

Christ no!

However bacon sandwiches, nutella, and peanut butter toast must be loaded with delicious melty butter.

Yes I do. I didn't realise that people existed who DON'T butter their toast before adding cheese.

No

I put butter on every sandwich and type of toast. It's too dry for me if I don't. I'm veggie though so I haven't had a bacon sandwich in 20-odd years. (Butter on a veggie sausage sandwich is necessary though, as is tomato relish.)

Yes. And horseradish sauce.

i toast one side 'properly', lightly toast the other side, add butter, add cheese, whack it under the grill, add HP. this is the right way to make cheese on toast.

Some twat made me a bacon sandwich without butter once. Rank. Why would you do that?

Butter goes on bread and toast before anything. There isn’t anything I’d have on toast without butter first.

Yes, who the hell doesn't? That's just weird.

After laying on the cheese I'll butter the visible edges of the toast, which would otherwise get carbonised while toasting the cheese. Bit too much grease otherwise!

I never butter bacon sandwiches but I do put lots of brown sauce in and dip the bread in the frying pan fat, so plenty of taste/moisture.

However, what I hate is that sandwich shops seem to 'butter' them as standard, and you just know that 90% of the time it is nasty cheap catering margarine and not one person who works in a sandwich shop seems to understand that this is not actually butter. But I have sandwich shop bacon sandwiches so rarely that I always forget this so always forget to ask for 'no butter' and them am disappointed when it is there.

No.

A friend always fully toasts the bread, both sides, before putting the cheese on

I toast both sides and I use butter except if I'm in a rush.

I thought it was the usual way to do it!

DH doesn't toast one side. I thought he was the weird one for doing this!

I toast one side of the bread under the grill, turn over the toast, put cheese on the untoasted side and then grill until the cheese has melted.

I thought that was the usual way to do it.

Yes! How else do you achieve that extra deliciousness?

It's the way that the bread goes slightly crispy from the heat of the pan and has all that bacon flavour that makes it so good.

I might become an ex vegetarian if I keep thinking about this.

Putting cheese on the untoasted side just seems wrong to me! I had no idea people even did this till I saw DH doing it and even then I thought it was something weird he did!

I toast one side, lightly toast the other side, then butter and add cheese.

Butter even on toast before adding peanut butter.

Hear Hear.

For cheese on toast, I toast both sides but don't use butter. I don't like soggy toast though. It needs to crunch.

DCs will only eat the 'warmed bread' style of toast [boak]

I've known some animal actually put butter on a BACON sandwich!!!!!

Yep. I'm that animal. And I'm clearly not alone.

And, of course, I butter cheese on toast.

I used to think that butter under the cheese was just too much fat, but have now started to use butter, it tastes much better, and the melt is better too. (I have always dabbed cheese on toast with kitchen roll to absorb the melted fat, but accept that this is a deeply strange habbit. )

No butter. I put a layer of whole grain mustard under the cheese then melt it. Might have it for lunch!
