Cheese-on-toast is a great student meal, it’s quick, easy and tasty. But there are a few ways to make it a bit more interesting. We’ve taken the much loved classic and come up with three ways to liven up your lunch with just a few extra ingredients. First of all, for this culinary delight you will need: your choice of bread, a toaster, and a grill.

Add as sauce

A classic is Worcestershire sauce, but as students ourselves, we know that normally ketchup is as far as our sauce collection goes. Good job cheese and tomato are great together. Try BBQ or Tabasco for a stronger taste. A Student Foodie favourite is BBQ cheese-on-toast, here’s our recipe!

You’ll need: 2 slices of bread (lightly toasted), cheedar cheese (grated), 2 tbsp BBQ sauce.

1. Preheat your grill on a high heat.

2. Spread the BBQ sauce over the bread.

3. Sprinkle the cheese on top.

4. Grill until the cheese has melted.

Add your 5-a-day

Add chopped peppers, onions and tomato’s or even chilli’s for a hotter taste. Follow the recipe below for the perfect veggie cheese-on-toast!

You’ll need: 2 slices of bread (lightly toasted), cheddar cheese (grated), 1/2 spring onion (finely chopped), a handful of cherry tomato’s (finely chopped), 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce.

1. Preheat your grill on a high heat.

2. Sprinkle the veg over the lightly toasted bread.

3. Spread the worcestershire sauce over the veg and sprinkle the cheese on top.

4. Place under the grill and cook until the cheese has melted.

Change the cheese

Choose your favourite from the classic cheddar to a more upmarket goats cheese! We reccomend brie and if you’re feeling adventurous add bacon for a posh toastie. Here’s our recipe!

You’ll need: 2 slices of bread (lightly toasted), brie (sliced), 2 rashes of bacon, 1 tsp of cranberry sauce.

1. Preheat your grill on a high heat.

2. Place the bacon on a grill pan under the grill.

3. Spread the cranberry sauce over the bread.

4. Cut up the bacon into small pieces and sprinkle over the cranberry sauce.

5. Lay the cheese on top and place under the grill until the cheese has melted.
