Ingredients

• 2 slices Turkish pide bread (or crusty white bread)
• 100 grams Kashar cheese (or mild melting cheese like mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (unsalted)
• 4 slices Tomato (optional, thinly sliced)
• 4 slices Pickles (optional, sliced lengthwise)

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by preparing your ingredients: slice the bread if not already sliced, cut the cheese into thin slices, and prepare any optional toppings, such as tomatoes or pickles.

Step 2

2. Preheat a tost machine (panini press) or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

3. Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. The buttered sides will create a golden, crispy exterior when toasted.

Step 4

4. Place one slice of bread buttered side down onto the work surface. Layer it with the slices of Kashar cheese. If using optional toppings like tomato or pickles, add them on top of the cheese.

Step 5

5. Close the sandwich by placing the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.

Step 6

6. If using a tost machine, place the sandwich inside and close the lid, cooking for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted. If using a skillet, cook the sandwich on one side for 2-3 minutes while pressing it gently with a spatula, then flip it over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

7. Remove the toast from the machine or skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and melted. Enjoy your sugar-free traditional Turkish tost!
