I have brown bread (not quite defrosted, but let's not do that again), cheddar cheese and a fridge and cupboard full of a wide range of condiments and other stuff. Oh, and a grill.
So, suggestions for cheese-on-toast-derived culinary amazingness please.
spread a little tomato puree on the bread first.
when it's done, a dash or 5 of henderson's relish.
Keep it simple, 2 options:
1. Generous splash of Worcester sauce on top pre- grilling.
2. Marmite spread on toast before cheese going on top.
Lee and Perrins Worcestershire Table Sauce over the top of the cheese and put it under the grill again for a short time. It's brilliant.
Schwarz Season-All ftw
2. Marmite spread on toast before cheese going on top.
This. Several slices of this.
Stick some jalapenos on it. Or Chipotle Tabasco, nice flavour.
Lots of black pepper
Henderson relish..... or pesto under the cheese. Cheese and tomato(chopped small) melted in a pan (with a dash of Hendersons, spread on toasted bread and put under grill till top browns slightly. .. pain in the arris to wash up from but blooming lovely. .. hth
Tinned sardines in tommy sauce lightly mashed and put them under the cheese. Amazing.
mango chutney under the cheese

Here's some I prepared earlier...
Tip - toast the bread, butter the toast, add cheese, cook slowly. Pesto or Sweet Chilli on top, maybe Reggae Reggae.
Peanut butter! (no really, its bloody lovely)
this stuff goes amazing with a sharp cheddar http://karenmartini.com/cook/recipes/kasundi-relish
Right, some good ideas here.
I have adapted a couple and come up with:
Slice 1) Hot garlic pickle under cheese
Slice 2) Tomato and brown sauce under chees
I shall report back...
Chopped onions under the cheese - or chillies - HP sauce when cooked!
... 😀Right, some good ideas here.I have [s]adapted a couple[/s] realised I don't have anything in the cupboard that was suggested, so am just using what I have and come up with
Hot garlic pickle
ooof, sounds the one.
Nice mature cheddar toasted to golden perfection on thick sliced home made bread, no extras or fripperies, sometimes less is more..
That's all you need, everything else is a distraction from the cheesy goodness..
unless you're the sort of pervert that puts sauce on bacon as well...
don't grill it.
butter the underside of the bread, put your chosen topping on top (cheese and homemade chutney works for me) and cook it on a wire rack in the oven for 15 minutes.

Mayo instead of butter under the cheese before toasting
sausages
or bacon
or both
Ancovies and or pesto and or peppers
Just think Pizza toppings...
2. Marmite spread on toast before cheese going on top.
This [b]IS[/b] the best cheese on toast. FACT!
Saw a thing on telly once where they did a blind taste test, something to do with the extra taste sense we have, Umami, they gave people normal cheese on toast then cheese on toast with marmite under the cheese. Everybody liked the marmite one, even people that didn't like marmite!!
So, I've cooked, consumed and cogitated and the result is:
[i]Slice 1) Hot garlic pickle under cheese[/i]
Luverly jubbly, really, really nice.
[i]Slice 2) Tomato and brown sauce under cheese[/i]
Satisfying in a simple way. The addition of a bit of onion would have perfected it I think.
Anchovies and or pesto and or peppers
[b]What are you thinking man?!!!!![/b] Anchovies have no place on any lunch menu, or any menu at all, come to that. But to defile cheese on toast in such a manner should be a criminal offence! And Pesto? BLEURGHHHHH!!!!
I think back2basics has the winner
Hendersons Relish FTW
Cheers

Mmm anchovies...
I used red pesto as a base last time. Tasty

A thin slice of corned beef under the cheese, a dollop ploughmans pickle maybe?
Damn this thread. I've rushed home from work foaming at the mouth as a result of this thread.
Cheese is in the process of being grated and I am going to be eating my body weight in cheese and what ever else I fancy spreading on toast underneath now!
Marmite and pesto is definitely a go-er, will see what else I have knocking around.
Sliced or Grated? should I start another thread?
on a slight tangent my favourite melted cheese toasted snack type thing is cheese stuffed crumpets with butter and marmite on;
slice into the side of a crumpet with a sharp knife
fill the pocket with thin slices of strong cheese
toast either in a toaster or under the grill (if under the grill definitely toast the bottoms first or the cheese will try and escape when you turn them over)
spread with butter and marmite
absolutely brilliant post ride snack with a huge cup of tea
+1 for peanut butter....
why would chops a perfectly good crumpet in half?
Shirely the 'hole
point is for the cheese to melt into the crumpet.
it's not chopping it in half just make it into a pocket - just so much nicer with the butter and marmite on it and cheese in the middle
as with most things in life don't knock it until you've tried it 😉
I have a sudden desire to make home-made crumpets now.
Nice - when shall we come round with the ccheese and marmite? 😀
Hendersons relish and on cheesy bread = 🙂
Im gonna have to try some of the suggestions on here though.
Mayonnaise underneath and chilli flakes on top. The mayo cooks and turns yummy.
Whats wrong with Anchovies? love the salty buggers and a great way of protecting your pizza 😆
Black Pepper
foul little things! How can something so small be so fishy? They're like condensed whales... 😥
Use stilton
OMG!!! 😯 Stilton and anchovies! Why don't you just shit on it and be done with it...
Fresh bread toasted, spread Marmite onto the toast, spread with a thick layer of hummus, add the cheese (thick cheddar), grill till done.
spread Marmite onto the toast, spread with a thick layer of hummus
I know taste is in the mouth of the beholder, but by christ that sounds rank.
Bread, butter, Tommy K, ham, cheese. Grated, 70% strong cheddar, 30% pizza mozzarella. Devour. Like a croque monsieur, only less pretentious
Doesnt adding butter make it go all soggy and greasy?
Garnish - where's the garnish, you know sprig of parsley, basil leaf, slice of tomato, that kind of thing?
Only 1 suggestion of bacon? Hang your poncey anchovy munching heads in shame!
Less said about pesto the better
Personal favourite is the addition of sliced pickled onions (the silver ones) which go really well with cheddar.
May I recommend: Lightly toast one side of your bread. Meanwhile, grate cheddar and mix with a bit of chutney (Branston if you must/have to, otherwise homemade preferable) in a bowl. Spread this delightful mixture over the untoasted side and place under medium grill until desired amount of melting. Serve with steaming mug of tea and enjoy 😛
Screw you haters 😆 I lure anchovies and I am proud to say so.
Toasted bread
Then cheese
Then marmalade
Then toasted bread
Then chilli pickle or chutney
Then cheese
Then oven
Then eat
Lightly toast the bread, put the sliced cheese on then add plenty of black pepper from a grinder, and plenty of hot chilli from a grinder, (the Morrison ones are particularly good), then stick back under the grill.
Much yumminess, with minimum time wasted in preparation.
Right, I know what my supper is gonna be a bit later on...
4 slices of 'just done' toast were ravished upon returning home from work.
Here are the toppings and my opinions...
Red pesto - The tastiest but could've done with a bit more pesto.
Marmite - Avoid, didn't like it.
Green pesto - Tasty but slightly over-powering. Sun-dried tomatoes seem to sing better with cheese.
Tomato puree with ham - Second best, again could've done with a bit more puree.
Toast, poached egg and toast the cheese on top
Just fire some beans on it - job done.
STAND ASIDE,
This is the ultimate:
A sprinkle of cayenne pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika, before toasting.
That's it, thread over.
Yes all about the red pepper - love a bit of smoked paprika .
Chillies and plenty of 'em - utterly amazing
Has no one said mustard? You anchovy-interfering savages.
Grate cheese, mix with mustard and Worcester sauce, season with salt and pepper, stick on toast and grill.
Anchovies. For Pete's sake.
Toast buttered with sliced banana then good strong cheddar melted over the top.
Its the oddest bloody thing but it works.
Man alive this is getting daft.There is only one acceptable answer,it's no coincidence that when God invented the pig that it tastes of bacon.
Fancy condiments,sauces and fish based products are a no no.
Cheese,toast and bacon - the holy trinity.Here endeth the lesson
Jalapenos or tabasco or both.
Or sainsburys mackerel in hot n spicy sauce under the cheese (+jalapenos)
Or au naturel with some pickle on the side (+ maybe just a few jalapenos)
I have an unhealthy chilli fixation today.
Anchovies yum. Not ob cheese on toast though. In pizza and fresh fish dishes.
Tomato paste base, with cheese, pepperoni, and herb topping on thick bread.
Salsa verde or some plum chutney.
Otherwise a layer of tuna underneath make moi wet. Around the mouth.
In unrelated news,
I've just made my own Worcestershire sauce, from scratch.
I'll use my OH as a toast-under-cheese guinea pig and report back.
OXO
/thread
IT HAS TO BE TOASTED BOTH SIDES!
There, thats out.
Mushrooms are also good under the cheese.
