I know I am not alone in my adoration for cheese toasties. It seems like everyone has their own tricks,hacks and holy grail methods to get the perfect ooze and sizzle.
My philosophy is that cheese toasties are not about being overly fancy nor are they about holding back (slather that butter on!). They’re about understanding your chosen cheese’s behaviour and personality to avoid disappointment and reach melted happiness.
Essentially,various cheeses behave differently when they melt. Some ooze,some crisp up,some become stringy,while others turn silky or split only to leave a disappointing pile of oil. Ergo,the type of melt profoundly impacts your toastie experience.
Cheeses also have their own individual personality and flavour,so my number one tip for toastie perfection is to mix-and-match two or more cheeses for the best behaved,most delicious creation. Here are my top 10,with the meltiest first.
