TOAST WITH CHEESE AND HAM
Classic toast is easy to make and only requires toast bread, cheese, ham and butter. Amen so, that delicious. In fact, it is a Parisian toast and there is both the perfect hangover food, but also comfort food, especially when you want to spend minimal time in the kitchen and feel like a snack lunch or dinner. And if there is to be a little extra gourmet toast over it, you can add a little mustard mayo or green pesto.
I myself am a big fan of toast because it is easy and can be made in any home as it requires simple equipment. And then you also almost always have some slices of cheese and ham, which is the perfect way to freshen up day-old bread.
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST BUTTER-FRIED TOAST
The tip for the perfectly crispy outside on toast is butter. Butter is needed on the outside so that the bread becomes extra crispy and caramelised. Mums. You can use just the butter you want, the same goes for the bread. However, I would suggest you use something you already have, as a toast does not require new bread – in fact, day-old bread works super well, like toast bread.
I use day-old homemade toast with sourdough for my Parisian toast, but you can of course use what you have or go for what you can buy that has already been made for the purpose. A home-baked wholemeal bread can also be used. If it fits in your toast star then it can be used, or you just make your delicious toast with cheese and ham on the pan!

INGREDIENTS
8 slices of toast bread
4 tablespoons coarse-grained mustard
4 slices of cooked ham
4 slices gouda
4 teaspoons butter
KITCHEN EQUIPMENT
Panini grill *
Toast iron
COURSE OF ACTION
Let your toaster heat up well.
Spread 4 slices of bread with mustard and first place a slice of cheese and then ham on each slice of bread. Put the second slice of bread on top.
Grease the outside of the bread with butter and fry each toast golden in your toaster or on the pan until the surface is crisp and golden and the cheese is melted.
Make your toast in toast star, in a panini grill or on the pan
Toast can be made in several ways. The ingredient list is the same, but the procedure is a bit different.
In toast iron: or toast machine is the classic way where you let the iron heat up well while you collect your toast. Then put the toast into the hot toaster and fry until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.
In panini grill: Is a kind of an elongated toast star, therefore the progress is really the same for the two. Also, try making a grilled panini that is a bit reminiscent of toast – it’s more just a sandwich, but still with ham and cheese.
On the forehead: This method is for you who do not have one of the fancy irons. Fear not, you are not going to miss anything. Heat the pan with a dollop of butter, gather your toast, and place it on the hot pan. When it is golden on one side, gently turn with a pallet or pliers. Fry the other side and in no time you also have a delicious French toast
So you do not need to invest in a fancy toast star to make Parisian toast, because you probably already have something to use!
I have several ideas for toast, including the sweet version of french toast also known as french toast, where the bread is fried on the pan after being dipped in the sweet egg mass. Likewise, a perfect opportunity to get used to day-old bread as toast bread. You choose salty toast or sweet toast yourself.
HOMEMADE TOAST WITH CHEESE AND HAM
It is easy to use and therefore also perfect for the teenager who is just always hungry because they can make them themselves, while you can spend your time on something else.
I just need cheese and ham in my toast. Like, double up on cheese! A good melted cheese, eg gouda or cheddar! It ensures that the toast is perfectly chewy and delicious! Of course, your homemade toast can be filled with your favourite cheese and cold cuts. When experimenting with your toast, whether it’s gourmet toast or just a delicious toast on the pan, remember the cheese – If it’s snacked when you’re done, then you’ve done it right.
