Ingredients
- 1 pound cheddar, old, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, diced, seeds removed, just the flesh optional
- ½ cup onion, purple, diced more or less to taste
- 4 lices bread, sliced, toasted, buttered if desired
- 1-2 tablespoons butter, plus more for the toast, if desired
- 4 large eggs, fried or poached optional
- ½ pound bacon, chopped, cooked until crisp optional
Instructions
- In a medium sized saucepan, over low heat, add 1-2 tablespoons butter. Allow to melt.
- Add thinly sliced cheese, one layer at a time. As each layer starts to melt add another and stir gently until melted. Actually you don't really stir the cheese, you are just adjusting it. Gently keep cheese moving around in the pot until fully melted. Then stir.
- Drain off any excess oil but not all of it.
- Add tomato, crisp bacon or onion and stir continuously until well blended.
- Remove from heat.
- Toast bread, butter if desired, and place on your plate for serving. Try to toast your bread while cheese is melting so toast is ready when cheese is melted.
- Spoon cheese mixture on top of toast.
- Serve with a fried or poached egg on top if desired. Enjoy!
