HFG tip
Toasty tips
- The toaster’s a no-no! Never use a conventional bread toaster for this recipe because cheese will get stuck and you simply won’t believe the mess! Really. Don’t. The experiment’s not worth it.
- Go wild! Add a tablespoon of finely chopped onion to the cheese before you cook it, or try adding capsicum, pineapple, ham or mushroom.
- French-styles. For a more nutritious meal, crack an egg, beat it with a fork, and dip your bread in it before you toast it. It’s just like French toast, but with cheese inside.
Boring safety bits – not!
- Never operate electrical appliances with wet hands.
- Turn off the grill or sandwich press as soon as the toasties are done.
- The toasties will be hot! Use oven mitts and tongs or a spatula to transfer the toasties onto a plate.
- Wait for toasties to cool down before you take a bite.
