How do you make a cheese toasty?

Ingredients:

* 2 slices of bread (white, brown, or sourdough work well)

* Butter or margarine (optional)

* Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

* Any additional fillings you like (ham, tomato, onion)

Equipment:

* Panini press (optional)

* Non-stick frying pan

* Spatula

Instructions:

1. Butter the bread: Spread butter or margarine on one side of each slice of bread. This will help the toasty crisp up and prevent it from sticking to the pan.

2. Add cheese: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a work surface. Layer cheese over the bread, using as much as you like.

3. Add fillings: If you're using fillings, add them on top of the cheese.

4. Assemble the toasty: Place the other slice of bread, buttered side up, on top of the cheese and fillings.

5. Cook the toasty:

* Panini press: Place the assembled toasty in the panini press and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.

* Frying pan: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Place the toasty in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Cut and serve: Cut the toasty in half and serve immediately.

Tips:

* For extra crispy toasty: Use a heavier bread like sourdough.

* For a cheesy explosion: Use a combination of cheese like cheddar and mozzarella.

* Get creative with fillings: Try adding ham, tomato, onion, spinach, mushrooms, or any other vegetables you enjoy.

* For a gourmet touch: Use a good quality cheese and fresh ingredients.

* Don't overstuff the toasty: Too much filling can make it difficult to cook and eat.

Enjoy your delicious cheese toasty!
