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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill/broiler to a medium-high heat setting.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
If using butter, spread a thin layer over one side of the toasted bread slices while they are still warm.
Step 4
Grate the cheddar cheese and evenly distribute it over the toasted bread slices.
Step 5
If using Worcestershire sauce, drizzle a small amount over the cheese for added depth of flavor.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the slices from the grill and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Cheap and Cheerful British Toasted Cheese!
