Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread (preferably thick-cut)
- 100 grams cheddar cheese (or any good melting cheese)
- 10 grams butter (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill/broiler to a medium-high heat setting.
Lightly toast the two slices of bread under the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden and firm. This will prevent the bread from becoming soggy under the cheese.
If using butter, spread a thin layer over one side of the toasted bread slices while they are still warm.
Grate the cheddar cheese and evenly distribute it over the toasted bread slices.
If using Worcestershire sauce, drizzle a small amount over the cheese for added depth of flavor.
Place the slices back under the grill and toast for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbling, and slightly browned around the edges.
Remove the slices from the grill and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Cheap and Cheerful British Toasted Cheese!
