When making cheese on toast, do you overlap the cheese slightly, you know, like when you lay turf on a lawn, so you don’t get any gaps ?!

Also the side you put the cheese on do you toast that slightly, just so the cheese sits on right ?

Toasted both sides. Cheese edge to edge, as much as I can cram on. Sit the finished cheese on toast on a piece of kitchen roll on the plate, to help prevent the condensation making the toast soggy

Do you tip your toaster on its side so you can toast the underside and melt the cheese at the same time?

Nope. I just pile on heaps and heaps of grated cheddar. Haven't had cheese on toast for years.

When the cheese has melted, I like to spread it with a knife so I get an even coating across the while slice.

I usually slice my cheese from the top. It satisfies me to see one big sheet of cheese on top of the bread.

My ex used to put the bread in the toaster. Then add cheese and chuck it under the grill to melt.

NOOOOOOOO!

Put the bread under the grill to toast beautifully on one side whilst you slice or grate cheese as is your want !

Once beautifully golden remove and flip over add your choice of cheese and any adornments.

The steam from the now face down toasted side adds to the melting of the cheese and stops is getting burnt on the cheese side.

And yes....I take my cheese on toast seriously

I toast the bread in toaster... Then lay either raw/pickled onions thinly sliced or chutney/pickle.. or tomato puree onto one toasted side. Ontop of that I lay slices of cheese edge to edge and right to the edge of the toast.

When I feel like I do it Jamie style.. with some cheese grated straight into pan.. deliciously bubbling away an sticking to your griddled toast. Forming a nice crispy layer on the outside and melting goodness inside.

Laid precisely, maybe a touch of onion.

And if you are a lover of it.... When the cheese is still hot, spread Marmite on it and you get lovely gloopy Marmitey cheese

Grated mixed with a little Worcestershire sauce and mayonnaise.

Or even mayo and onion.

Or just on its own.

If I’m using slices then there’s no need to overlap as i make sure the slices are even.

Grating is far superior though.

Melts better, you can mix cheeses better. Everything about it’s better.

They did a program looking at the science of this particular item.

Grating cheese is indeed the preferred method. Also depends what cheese you use.

But they also say it's best to use the middle shelf

Overlap the cheese, make sure it goes right up to the edges. Chuck it under the grill for a bit until things get bubbly, a smattering of Worcestershire sauce, and then back under to brown everything up... *drools all over himself*

No one has mentioned mushrooms yet.

Toast the bread

Fry mushrooms with garlic, then add sour cream, parsely and salt..

Put on the toast and grate block cheese over it.

Brown the toast under the grill.

Add grated cheese, back under grill to melt.

A few liberal dashes of vinegar when plated.
