I love cheese. Can someone tell me why you can't toast a chunk of cheese on a toasting fork in front of the fire any more? When I have tried recently, the cheese just melts. When I was a child, I enjoyed cheese toasted by the fire it went crisp on the outside and was melted and yummy on the inside.

Colliers cheddar. It's lovely and strong. Or that Cheddar with the black wax rind. Has to be Cheddar for me, best with onion on top.

DH does a really good combo of cheddar topped with crispy bacon with a poached egg perched on top and mushrooms on the side, on a thick slice of proper bread.

Yes, marmite or Worcester sauce.yum

Cheddar is so versatile. Love mozzarella and emmental for its nuttiness. A wee touch of marmite is fabulous on toasted cheese.

It's all bad for your arteries. And very indigestible. Apparently. sad

For cheese on toast, tasty Lancashire can't be beaten.

Mr P does excellent cheese & onion on toast, bless him!

Montgomery's cheddar I meant!

Chaumes, Gruyere , Motgomery's cheddar, oh all of them!!

Definitely Gruyere on toast, or very strong Cheddar over a layer of thinly sliced onion.

But would you toast them?

So so many to choose from- I love them all. But I was lucky to have spent my life in the area of my 2 favorites- Gruyères and Stilton.

It has to be a good strong one. I adore cheese of any sort really.

When it's ready, spread a bit of butter carefully all aound the edges of the toast, makes it extra yummy.

Cheshire for me! smile

(for everything cheesy, actually...)

I love any cheese but you can't beat a good cheddar.

Just off to make cheese on toast, which obviously has to be made with Wensleydale, toasted and then a bit of mustard spread on it.Or do you disagree?
