Cheese on Toast

Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes

Cheese on toast is a British dish made by placing sliced or grated cheese on toasted bread and melting it under a grill, typically using cheddar for its strong melting qualities, though Lancashire cheese is also promoted regionally. Toppings beyond the cheese itself may include chopped spring onions or Worcestershire sauce, and butter is sometimes added to the toast. The dish is popular well beyond Britain, including in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, the United States and parts of Africa. An American variant called the cheese dream serves as an open-faced take on a grilled cheese sandwich, sharing the same basic components.
