Cheese And Onion On Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Finely slice the red onions, then tip them into a large frying pan with the butter and a big pinch of salt. Cover and cook on a low-medium heat for 30 mins, stirring regularly. Take off the lid, then scatter with the sugar, season well and cook for 5 more mins until caramelised.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan, then whisk in the stout and the English mustard. Stir in the grated cheddar and whisk until melted, then season and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Take off the heat, then whisk in the egg. Divide the onions between two toasts, top with dollops of the cheesy sauce, then grill for 2-3 mins until browning and bubbling.

Steps:

• Toast bread slices fairly crisp.
• Butter toast on both sides, lay cheese slices on toast, add onion slices over cheese, grind pepper over onions.
• Lay more cheese slices over onion.
• Place second piece of toast on top and squish down.
• Place on a cookie sheet under oven broiler, about 5 or 6 inches from heat.
• Turn over when that side is golden and the cheese has started to melt.
• Leave under broiler until the second side is golden and the cheese is ooozing out of sides.
• Place on a luncheon plate, cut in two and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a sauté pan, add the onions, then sprinkle over the sugar. Sweat the onions for 20 mins over a medium heat, stirring them occasionally, until sticky and golden. Add the brandy, if using, reduce down to nothing, then season to taste. This onion topping can be made 2 days ahead and kept covered.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toast the bread, spread the onions over, then top with slices of cheese. The toasts can be made up 1 hr ahead. Place on a baking tray, then bake for 15 mins until bubbling and golden. Serve each piece of toast on a plate with a sprig of dressed watercress next to it.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high, put the bread onto a baking sheet, then grill until just golden on both sides. Mix the onions, tomatoes, cheese and chilli flakes in a bowl, then scoop onto the toast. Shake over a little Worcestershire sauce and grill again until golden and melted. Serve with green salad.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Stir together onion and mayonnaise. Arrange bread slices in 1 layer on a baking sheet and broil 6 inches from heat until lightly toasted (watch carefully). Remove from oven and turn toasts over. Spread evenly with onion mixture and sprinkle with cheese and freshly ground pepper.
• Broil hors d'oeuvres until topping is bubbling and lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes (watch carefully to prevent burning).
• Serve warm.
