Cooking with Slinwagh: Cheese on toast.

[Slinwagh]

Ingredients

Ciabatta
Plum tomatoes
Buffalo mozzarella
Fresh basil
Extra virgin olive oil
Sprig of thyme
Salt and pepper

Slice the ciabatta, and toast on both sides, place in the oven proof dish, lay on some basil leaves, drizzle with the olive oil and lightly season.

Skin the tomatoes, place in a bowl, pour over boiling water and remove from the water when you see the skin has split, take the tomatoes out of the boiling water and plunged them into some iced water to stop them cooking.

Slice the tomatoes, lay them on the basil, take the mozzarella and tear into pieces and place this on top of the tomatoes, drizzle with the olive oil and season.

Place under a very hot grill, remove from the grill when the cheese has melted and just starts to golden.

Finally tear the thyme leaves and sprinkle over the cheese, roughly chop some more fresh basil and sprinkle on top.

Nice Mozarella doesn't really taste of anything though in my opinion..

 

[G|mp]

Aye bit of cheddar on top that would be nice

Get some Buffalo mozzarella and make sure that you have taken it out of the fridge before you use it, this goes for the tomatoes too.

Don't use it straight from the fridge, get them up to toom temperature.

It wasn't really, it took longer to post about it than prepare it, it may sound like a faff but if you think about other then skinning the tomatoes which take a couple of minutes max there isn't a lot else to do.

Looks like pizza bread, sometimes make it myself..

 

[Andelusion]

Wouldn't take long at all if you didn't bother to skin the tomatoes, I probably wouldn't personally.

Its more of an ingredients 'faff' problem for me. My normal cheese on toast: Bread + Cheese.

Still looks nice though.

Nahh, strong cheddar with some worcester sauce, sorted

 

[Tom0]

Too much hassle for me, I just toast one side of the bread, then put tomatoe puree and grated cheese on the other and toast that.

 

[badbob]

then put tomatoe puree and grated cheese on the other and toast th

Puree on it's on is a bit too sour, do a 50/50 mix with tomatoe ketchup / puree mix.

 

[Doohickey]

Whack some chorizo on top of that too, mmm

boil your kettle and pour the water over the tomatoes in a bowl, after 30 seconds or so the skin will come off easly

I`d rather have bog standard cheese on toast any day of the week.

 

[FrostedNipple]

put some baked beans between the cheese and toast mmmmmmmm, much better

 

[Azagoth]

Looks very tasty. Although what's wrong with just slamming some decent Cheddar or Cheshire on bread and throwing it under the grill?
