Cheese on toast AIBU

[ItsThatBeverleyMacca]

My method: grill on. Bread under. Slice cheese while one side browns. When side is brown, remove and flip over. Add cheese to non-brown side. Back under grill until cheese is bubbling. Eat.

DH's method: bread in toaster. Remove when browned. BUTTER one side add cheese to buttered side. Grill cheese side. Eat.

I think the toaster part and buttering is completely unnecessary. AIBU?

I want some now! Your method is correct, but I add butter.

I like both ways, tbh. :)

It's cheese on toast. Toast doesn't have a soggy untoasted side.

Toast both sides.

No butter.

Cheese on one side then put in oven till melty.

No no no.

Your way is right, OP. Anything else is just madness.

But redglitter your toast is not toasted on the non-cheese side?

I agree with your DH on this one - minus the butter. I've tried your way but find it too soggy with cheese on an untoasted side.

All four of us as the same as your husband.

I had someone helping me when DTs were tiny babies and DC1 was 2. She asked what to cook him for lunch: "oh he'll eat cheese on toast ' I said. She gave him exactly that: cheese. On toast....

His little face was a picture

Agree with you OP. If you put cheese on the untoasted side, it stays fairly moist (so no need for butter) and stops the edges getting burnt because it's the one and only time of toasting that side.

Toast one side & then slightly toast other side before adding cheese-if you fully toast the 2nd side before adding the cheese then the edges get burnt while the cheese melts. Definitely no butter though, that's not nice.
Really want cheese on toast now...

I do it your way ( the correct way )
DH does it the most ridiculous way possible
Toast bread
Melt cheese on plate
Add melted cheese to toast
WTF ?

You are right.
Your dh is dangerously insane.

A real mixed bag! I don't find adding cheese to the untoasted side makes it soggy, by the time it's all grilled and bubbling there's no sogginess. I do love butter but find it unnecessary when gooey toasted cheese is in the mix! I sometimes add a splash of Worcester sauce as well.

I do hate the burned bits of toast round the crusts though from the grill, I can never ever seem to avoid those.

Toast it. Butter one side, add cheese and Hendersons sauce....none of this Lea and Perrin rubbish. Grill to melt cheese.

Erm I may get ousted from MN for this confession but I toast my bread in the toaster, add L&P and then microwave it to melt the cheese I just eat it

But redglitter your toast is not toasted on the non-cheese side?

Exactly. It doesn't need to be. It's not in the least soggy.

That's how my dad always made it and his cheese on toast was the best

no, no, you're all wrong! beans on toast is the way to go.

Yeah, sometimes often I microwave it after toasting but didn't want to admit to that!

I do it the same way as you, OP.

I go for a mix. Our toaster always toasts one side better than the other anyway, so I toast the bread in there so one side is done whilst the other is at least crisp. I think if you don't do that, the non-toasted side is definitely too soggy. Then I apply butter and cheese and shove it under the grill.

your DH is right, you can put HP under it too (or sliced tomatoes, or both) before toasting the second side,

Tomato sauce / puree on bread, sprinkle basil on top, then cheese, then under the grill.

No no no.

Toast bread lightly in both sides.

Add grated cheese, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. Shove back under grill until bubbling.

No butter. No soggy bread. Just perfect.

I'm make it the same way as your DH but my DH does it your way.
