Gourmet Cheese On Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Oil grate. Toss kale with 2 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a large bowl; set aside.
• Thread tomatoes onto skewers, then drizzle with oil; season lightly with salt.
• Grill tomato skewers, Halloumi, and lemon halves, turning skewers and cheese halfway through, until charred and softened, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
• Meanwhile, drizzle bread with oil; season lightly with salt. Grill until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Rub one side of each slice with halved garlic clove.
• Grill kale, placing it crosswise across grate so it doesn't fall through the gaps and turning occasionally, until charred in places and softened throughout, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to platter alongside Halloumi, tomatoes, and bread.
• Push tomatoes off skewers. Squeeze charred lemon halves over Halloumi, tomatoes, kale, and bread. Drizzle with oil.

Steps:

• Place the bread slices under the grill and toast for 2-3 mins until golden on one side. Mix together the cheese, mustard, spring onions and egg. Spread a little over the untoasted side of each slice, then pop back under the grill. Cook for 3 mins more until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve straight away.

Steps:

• Spread bread with a thick layer of French mustard, then cover the whole surface of the bread with strips of cheese.
• Put slice of bread on an ovenproof dish and under the grill until the cheese softens and turns golden brown. Just before it begins to run, remove the dish and carry it to the table. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Cut slice in four and serve on hot plates.

Steps:

• Finely slice the red onions, then tip them into a large frying pan with the butter and a big pinch of salt. Cover and cook on a low-medium heat for 30 mins, stirring regularly. Take off the lid, then scatter with the sugar, season well and cook for 5 more mins until caramelised.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan, then whisk in the stout and the English mustard. Stir in the grated cheddar and whisk until melted, then season and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Take off the heat, then whisk in the egg. Divide the onions between two toasts, top with dollops of the cheesy sauce, then grill for 2-3 mins until browning and bubbling.

Steps:

• Trim the beans, cut them in half and then boil in a small pan of water for two minutes.
• Drain and cool with some cold water.
• Place the cheese in a bowl with the olives, mint or basil, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Mix together.
• Mix the onion and balsamic vinegar together in a bowl.
• Halve the cherry tomatoes and pile over top of the onion mixture.
• Season with a bit of salt and pepper, add two tablespoons of the olive oil and garlic and mix together.
• Toast the bread, then rub one side with the remaining olive oil and spread thickly with the cheese mixture.
• Cover with each piece of bread with a ham slice, place the toast on plates and pile with the onion mixture.
• Garnish with the beans and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Cook shallot and garlic in 3 Tbsp. oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, red peppers, and 1 tsp. each kosher salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until tomatoes are softened and juicy, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a 1 1/2-2 qt shallow baking dish and arrange cheese over top and drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Broil until cheese is softened and lightly charred, 3-5 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise and mustard; spread on one side of each slice of bread. Cut each slice into four triangles; place with plain side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Stir together cheese, bacon, onion, horseradish, salt, and pepper in a bowl with a rubber spatula until blended well.
• Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons mixture evenly to edges of each slice of bread with a small offset spatula or butter knife. Arrange slices in 1 layer on a large baking sheet and freeze, covered with wax paper, until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Trim crusts off bread and reserve for another use (see cooks' note, below), then cut each slice into 4 squares. Bake toasts on baking sheet until beginning to brown on edges, about 20 minutes.
