Toastie recipes
Toasted, golden bread and oozy cheese – the simple toastie is comfort food royalty. Easy and quick to make and wonderfully versatile – at the bare minimum, you'll need bread and cheese, but tuna, ham, beans or veg all make welcome additions. Whether cooked in an old-school toasted sandwich maker or on a griddle pan, these toasted sandwiches are perfect for a lunchtime treat. In America, they are known as grilled cheese sandwiches but Brits know them as toasties.
You don’t need a special gadget to make a superb cheese toastie – a simple frying pan will do. Grate the cheese and add a dollop of Greek yoghurt to give the filling a good texture and tangy taste, balancing out the acidity with a swipe of your favourite chutney.
