I know I'm not BU. Everyone must know! Posting here to reach the maximum number of people whose lives could be changed by this information.

I have always made my toasties American style. Don't butter the bread, throw the butter in the frying pan and add assembled sandwich. Gorgeous.

But I've reached new heights! I've just discovered that the perfect way to make gorgeous bubbly melty cheese inside is to grate the cheese and mix with a spoonful of mayo 🤤

I'm amazed. How did I not know this before!

Read it again, "Yes, quite" is usually something you say when you agree with a poster. I agreed that cheese on toast was done in a grill and then went on to say that toasties, fried toasties and croque monsieurs were quite different things from one another. I was answering several points made in the thread. It's not all about you mate.

How is that wrong?

I wouldn't say that was agreeing with me?

I'm done. You're getting far too het up over this

I'm not het up at all. What a storm in a teacup. Anyway I will also leave it there, my intention was never to start a fight.

I have something that will alter your view of cheese toasties even further.

This thread is hilarious 😂

Some people could start an argument in an empty room 😂

HelterSkelter224 · 23/10/2024 12:27

Came back to check up on toastie tips and to make sure the folk with sepsis have survived and it seems we're arguing about melting cheese in the microwave? Have I got that right? Wtf happened 😂

Objectionhearsayspeculation · 23/10/2024 15:14

Wait I did not know this! This is an experiment for tonight when the kids and DH go to bed! <hides mayo bottle in veg drawer for later>

YABU to destroy a perfectly good cheese toastie with the devils spawn.
Mayo is disgusting - the font of all evil.
its bad enough I can’t buy a prepacked sarnie
(apart from good old hoisin duck but they always run out by noon!) without you wanting to introduce it into home cooked fare…
Hang your head in shame you Jezebel!

I'm with you mayo being the devil's jizz. I really struggle with pre packed sandwiches, can't even eat the duck ones as I despise cucumber even more than mayo. But boots do a lovely bbq chicken wrap with no mayo (or cucumber) in.

I don't mind a bit of good quality mayo. The stuff they pour into supermarket sandwiches is cheap and copious. I avoid.

mumda · 23/10/2024 16:06

Really finely chop some red onion and add that in too.

Xmasdaft2023 · 23/10/2024 18:04

You haven’t tried putting mayo on the outside instead of butter then…. 😋😋

Bloody hell you two - give it a rest before I bang your heads together!

As if you're arguing over a bloody TOASTIE! Haha.

justanotherchangeofname · 23/10/2024 19:24

This thread is making me actually laugh out loud and that is an absolute rarity!

YABU to not put a fuller title to your post or add light-hearted. Click on posts thinking they may be important is a bit irritating.

Could all resident fun sponges please return to their docking stations. Management will redeploy you for your next assignment

@BeMintBee hilarious and perfect response

It was a brief exchange based on the other poster's failure to read my post properly. Then they tried to argue against the fact I had been agreeing with them. You can't win with some people. But it was six hours ago, no need to resurrect it.

Fasterplastercaster · 23/10/2024 19:37

I remember that in the 80s when cheese toastie makers were all the rage, it was essential to butter both sides of the bread with mayo before toasting for extra crispiness and to stop everything sticking to the toastie maker. I guess since non stick improved, it became unnecessary but I still think it adds a dimension to a toastie.

Literallywingingit · 23/10/2024 19:47

These posts are bloody hilarious! Proper cheered me up! 😊🤣

OhcantthInkofaname · 23/10/2024 20:21

In the US we have a Walmart whipped cream cheese spread. I use it on the inside and the outside when making a grilled cheese sandwich. I also grate a different mix of cheeses together. My faves are Havarti, sharp white cheddar, and Colby Jack.

Just a tip. If you're replying to multiple people, tag them!!

You only tagged me. How the fresh fuck am I supposed to work out which of your 5 paragraphs related to me?!

Amazing you can't see what you've done wrong, as well as making a toastie wrong

Make yourself a toastie, you may feel better

Idontjetwashthefucker · 23/10/2024 20:49

Haven't RTFT but if you want proper melted cheese, don't buy it already grated as it's coated in starch to stop it sticking together in the packet...hence it doesn't melt properly.

Suzypoo10 · 23/10/2024 21:33

I grate my cheese, a nice strong cheddar, add a dollop of mayonnaise to make it all stick together, add finely sliced onion, a splash of Worcestershire sauce and a little English mustard for an extra kick.

ThistleTits · 23/10/2024 21:50

mmmmbloodygorgeous · 22/10/2024 13:27

@YellowphantGrey

Try it as you may not taste the mayo-ness of the mayonnaise.

I bought a shop bought sandwich for lunch one day with grated cheese inside and didn't eat it. Later on I thought, I'll fling that in the pan and toast it. It was amazing!

Had to fish the package out the bin to see what magic was inside as it just looked like grated cheese to me. It was grated cheese and mayo. A revelation!

If you spread the outside with mayonnaise and airfry, it's delicious.

A few people have mentioned mustard. I'll have to try this.

That’s an awful way to make a toastie, sounds greasy as fuck if you’re making it in the frying pan (why??? That’s a fried sandwich, not a toastie!!)

Yeah, you aren't toasting it! I love fried bread but I don't call it toast!
