Cheese Toastie In A Frying Pan

[barry1010]

I can't be doing with sandwich makers so please don't suggest I buy one. I love a cheese toastie that has lots and lots of cheese but sometimes it has not melted enough.

Could this be solved by a quick blast in the microwave and if so, before or after putting in the frying pan?

That's like a Monte Cristo sandwich Pasta when you dip in egg, yum.

Jonathan Joe, that would not work on my induction hob and I don't want more gadgets

And don't forget to add some horse-radish sauce to the sandwich.

I've not heard that name before mamya...but I'd happily scoff one now.

Oh yes.

Omg I want a toastie now. When I was a student nurse most of our classes were an asylum that had a lovely old refectory for staff and patients (and students). Anyway. Practically The only thing they sold was toastie. By the end of my training I had tried all sorts. My favourite remains tuna coleslaw cheese and beans :)

Or perhaps mozzarella dipped in egg with chillies

Just wanted to say thanks again for all your help, I can confirm that after several experiments the best outcome is by far - putting a lid on the frying pan. So simple, so effective

Barry, can I suggest using leerdammer cheese - slightly nutty flavour and just stringy enough (I’ve been experimenting).

Thanks, I'll give it a try
