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?

You're all wrong. Toast on one side, put grated cheese, beer, mustard and L & P in a pan and gently heat until amalgamated. Butter untoasted side lightly, spread cheese mixture on and then put under grill. That's the Welsh way (although my teetotal Welsh grandma used milk instead of beer).

Your way. But I do lightly brown the cheese side first.

That's Welsh rarebit, not cheese on toast averysillyoldhector. They're two totally different entities.

I think you're both doing it wrong. My husband agrees with your husband, I think there's enough fat in the cheese already so it doesn't need butter.

My method - Toast both sides (not heavily) but don't butter before adding cheese and toasting.

I've done it both ways. Would tend toward the toaster and butter, if you take your eye off the grill for a second the toast is incinerated. Unbelievably DD doesn't like melted cheese so I rarely make it now.

Toast first side of bread under grill.
Lightly toast second side of bread under grill.
Remove, add cheese and L&P, return to grill.

No butter in sight. No mustard. No mayo. No tomatoes. None of those are "cheese on toast".

My variation is what I call "pizza toast" which is similar but you add tomato puree, herbs, cheese and L&P.

Your way BUT has to be with Branston pickle

Neither of you are right. toast one side until done, then put the other side under the grill until dry but not browned then put cheese onples Tabasco and/or Worcester sauce and grill until bubbly

Toast. Add cheese and grill. Then butter round the bits where the cheese dkesnt go to the edge of the bread.

You are right, he is wrong.
Not in the same league of wrongness as my friend who makes cheese on toast by putting bread in toaster and melting the cheese in the microwave and spreading it on.
Cue much debate:
"It is cheese on toast"
"It may literally be cheese-on-toast but it is not cheeseontoast" etc.

The way to not burn the bread under the grill is to do everything as normal(that being how your DH does it ) but also melt the cheese in the microwave before it goes under the grill so then it takes much less time to bubble and crisp up and the bread doesn't have time to burn.

I do it your husbands way, sometimes with butter, sometimes without. Depends how diet conscious I'm being,

I sometimes add some mayo, rocket or lambs lettuce, onion, avocado and tomato and salt, with a little sprinkle of olive oil and make it into a toasted sandwich. Is friggen gorgeous and only for pig out hangover days.😂

However my husband has the disgusting method of getting slice of bread, shoving some cheese on it then shoving it in the microwave to melt. No toasting. It's just warm bread on melted cheese. He then folds it over and eats it happily, 🤑

I do: grill on, bread under and slice cheese while that side browns. Take it out, turn the bread over. Butter the untoasted side, add cheese to the buttered side, put back under.
Sorry but cheese on toast with no butter is a no no for me, whisk be like eating a toasted sandwich with no butter or margarine.

2 slices of bread in toaster, on bagel setting. Meanwhile, cut cheese. Place slices of cheese in between toasted sides and stick in a george foreman until it's golden brown.

Usually, the cheese is brie, and there's also bacon involved.

No method is correct unless you include Marmite.

YANBU OP - I do it your way.

Toast bread on one side only. Butter.
Spread with grated cheese and milk

DH does it how we do.

I do mine in the main oven rather than under the grill. I put a wire rack on a tray. I put the bread in whilst grating the cheese, oven is heating up. Get it out, bread just dried out enough. Smother with grated cheddar, back into the oven. When you get it out it won't have gone soggy.... proceed to smother with black pepper and Worcestershire sauce. That's it, my way or the highway

I do it the way your DH does it except I grate my cheese mixed with a beaten egg (so it really fluffs up under the grill) I also mix in a very small amount of Colmans mustard to give it a very slight kick. I find toasting the bread before hand is better because otherwise the bread can get quite soggy, I just make sure that all the toast is covered with cheese/egg so it doesn't burn.

Gutted. DH has just made cheese on toast for us and it was horrible. Soggy bread and barely melted cheese. I haven't said anything as he rarely ventures into the kitchen. But I'm gutted I tell you..gutted.

I do bread in the toaster on the bagel setting so only one side browns. Cheese on non-browned side then under the grill.

We should write a MN Cheese on Toast recipe book, there's so many variations!

This should definitely be in classics.

I'd do it yourself husband's way!
