That’s just a hot continental breakfast. Even better if you add a bit of ham.

fairiedemon · 04/11/2018 07:02

Personally I really dislike cheese on toast but perfectly reasonable breakfast. If anyone has any breakfast pasta recepies I would be I interested.

DaphneDiligaf · 04/11/2018 07:08

If you make it as Welsh rarebit that's even better.

BuffaloCauliflower · 04/11/2018 07:11

Agreed it’s much better than most cereal.

What do you think a good breakfast is to compare?

Mummyoflittledragon · 04/11/2018 07:11

Agreed. Chilli con carne or a salad is far better. 😁

TokyoSushi · 04/11/2018 07:14

It's not, but it's a very nice one!

Kintan · 04/11/2018 07:19

Sounds good to me! Sometimes on a weekend we’ll have a ham and cheese toasted sandwich- why do you think it’s not a good breakfast?

Waitedtoolong · 04/11/2018 07:19

So many other options which are much more unhealthy. At least cheese on toast will keep you going until lunch time unlike some rubbish, sugar soaked cereals.

Boobahs · 04/11/2018 07:20

Lunch, yes.

Evening snack, yes.

Breakfast, no.

bingandflop · 04/11/2018 07:21

Would never have thought to have cheese on toast for breakfast but definitely will now!

Witchesbritches · 04/11/2018 07:22

With a name like yours this has to be a reverse surely?

I LOVE cheese on toast, but not so much at 6am. I’m always up before then, so it’s not that. Mind you, I don’t really like any food that early. Having been for a walk and had a coffee, it would be fine at 8am, but like Butchy I think of it as a lunch item (or dinner/snack). I usually have full fat Greek yogurt and a berries mid morning or nothing until later.

What made you ask?

JellySlice · 04/11/2018 07:27

Mmm nom nom...cheese on toast... Glad I had a little MN before breakfast.

CountFosco · 04/11/2018 07:31

I'd love to know what you think is better. Protein, fat and complex carbs sounds really good. A glass or orange juice with it and it's a perfect breakfast. Much better than a ton of sugar.

ipswichwitch · 04/11/2018 07:34

I just had a cinnamon bun for breakfast.

Ignoramusgiganticus · 04/11/2018 07:34

What's your personal objections to it? I think it's a brilliant breakfast if you can be bothered to do it.

Unsure123123 · 04/11/2018 07:35

Not everyday but as a treat flipping yes, YABU. Off to make myself cheese on toast for breakfast 😌

RyderWhiteSwan · 04/11/2018 07:36

There are Dark Forces at work on this thread. Tomato ketchup on cheese on toast? Nonsense! it has to be Worcestershire Sauce, dolloped on pre-grilling.

spiderplantsalad · 04/11/2018 07:37

It's a great breakfast, much better for you than cereal would be, that's full of rubbish usually. The cheese toast would keep you fuller for longer too.

HolyMountain · 04/11/2018 07:40

It’s a great breakfast :
Whole meal bread
Grated extra mature cheese
Slices of tomato under the cheese.

Love.

Mominatrix · 04/11/2018 07:47

Fantastic breakfast. I don't understand why anyone would think it is not a good breakfast.

I often have a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon - cheese on toast with cured fish.

Another common breakfast is toasted sourdough with a spread of ricotta cheese and sliced pear. Cheese on toast with fruit.

What is up with dogmatic people who think that breakfast MUST be cereal and milk? The best breakfasts are Japanese ones - rice, grilled fish and miso soup. Breakfast of champions and they are the thinnest population in the world.

HicDraconis · 04/11/2018 07:50

Cheese on toast by itself for breakfast isn

Mrsmadevans · 04/11/2018 07:51

I would love that anytime of the day and if feeling a bit meh , would put some onion on the cheese too Xmas Grin

HicDraconis · 04/11/2018 07:51

Doh. Posted too soon.

Cheese on toast by itself isn’t good, you need to add poached eggs on top (without ketchup for me, with for DH) then it’s great. Protein and carbs are a great way to start the day and keep you going till lunchtime.

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 04/11/2018 07:51

Mmm.. cheese and or on toast lovely but it is perfection if you add jam Grin

Cheby · 04/11/2018 07:52

Now I want cheese on toast for breakfast.
