The Timing is Key! Making Chef Baek’s Perfectly Balanced Cheese Toast
This is the super simple cheese toast recipe featured on ‘Home Food Rescue Housewife’ by Chef Baek Jong-won. Even with straightforward steps, the taste is absolutely fantastic! Anyone who loves cheese will surely adore this. Getting the timing right as the cheese melts to a golden perfection in the pan is crucial for a crispy outside and gooey inside.
Basic Ingredients- 1 slice of bread
- 2 slices of cheese
- Strawberry jam (or your preferred jam)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Place one slice of cheese on the pan, sized to fit your bread. It’s a good tip to cut the second slice of cheese in half to match the bread’s size, ensuring even melting across the pan.
Step 2
Once the cheese starts to melt gently, place one slice of bread on top. Gently press down and wiggle the pan to help the cheese melt and adhere evenly to the bottom of the bread. Control the heat carefully to prevent burning during this step.
Step 3
When the bottom side is sufficiently melted and lightly golden, quickly flip the toast. Once flipped, press it down so that the other side of the bread adheres well to any remaining cheese on the pan. Cook until it’s golden brown and crispy – and it’s done!
Step 4
Chef Baek Jong-won’s cheese toast is perfectly done, boasting a crispy exterior and a gooey, melted cheese interior. Just looking at it is mouthwatering!
Step 5
Slice the finished cheese toast into bite-sized pieces. Enjoy it warm with strawberry jam or any other jam you prefer for a delightful sweet and savory combination. Even without jam, the cheese itself has a rich flavor that’s delicious enough on its own, making it a great snack.
