Irish Cheese Toastie Recipe
Description
The recipe involves buttering slices of bread on one side, then flipping them to butter the underside. A rich topping is made by whisking eggs with Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, and then folding in shredded sharp cheddar cheese and cracked black pepper. This cheese egg mixture is spread evenly over the unbuttered side of the bread.
Baking at 425°F crisps the edges of the bread while causing the cheese mixture to puff slightly and set to a creamy, custard-like consistency with melted cheese. The topping’s tang from mustard and Worcestershire complements the sharpness of the cheddar. Fresh chives sprinkled on top add an herbal note and color contrast.
Serve immediately while still warm; this crisped toastie is suitable as a breakfast, brunch, or snack item with a rich taste similar to a cheesy egg bake on toast.
Ingredients
- 6 lices bread brown, potato, white, multi-grain
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 3 large egg
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 7-8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded (or sharp cheddar, aged, Irish
- ½ teaspoon black pepper cracked
- 1 tablespoons chives fresh chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set out a large baking sheet.
- Lay the pieces of bread on the baking sheet. Gently butter the top sides of the bread. Then flip the bread over so the buttered side is facing down.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk well. Then stir in the shredded cheddar and cracked black pepper.
- Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over each piece of bread. Then spread it out into it even layer.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the edges of the bread are golden and the center-most part of the cheese mixture is puffed up.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chives, and serve immediately.
Notes
- If aged Irish cheddar is unavailable, use extra sharp cheddar or any strongly flavored cheese that melts well.
