The humble cheese toastie is a much-loved British comfort food. Despite being made from such simple ingredients it offers a truly irresistible flavour, and is the perfect snack for any time of the day. You can ultimately customise it by choosing a combination of cheese, packing it with different ingredients, and pairing it with something, such as a nice soup.
But if you want to stick to the basics, yet still give it that one special touch, then there is one basic ingredient that you must add the next time you decide to make a cheese toastie. According to food magazine Favor Flav, there is one delicious ingredient that will make your cheese toastie "absolutely divine".
The Secret Ingredient
It said: "And the secret ingredient is… mustard. Yesss, I bet you didn’t see that coming. Yet it’s truly delicious, with all kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches, by the way. A little bit of spicy Dijon mustard on the inside of your ham and cheese grilled cheese sandwich is absolutely divine."
"Especially the sharpness of the mustard combined with that melted cheese; it’s unbelievably delicious. That’s why it also works well with many different kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches, because it’s mainly those combinations with cheese that make it so good."
Choosing the Cheese
And when it comes to deciding which cheese, the magazine stands strong on extra mature cheddar, which most people can agree on anyways.
