Here at Hot Star Honey, we firmly believe that even the simplest meals can become gourmet with the right finishing touch. Enter the Hot Honey Cheese Toastie! This isn’t your average cheese toastie; it’s a sweet, spicy, and ridiculously easy upgrade to a classic. With just a few steps (and a drizzle of our Mango Chilli Honey Sauce), you’ll have a snack or meal that’s so good, you might forget about any other comfort foods.
What You'll Need
- 2 slices of your favourite bread (thick-cut sourdough, hearty whole grain, or even white sandwich bread all work wonderfully)
- Grated cheese of your choice (cheddar, mozzarella, or a sharp mix of both for the ultimate gooey goodness)
- Hot Star Honey’s Mango Chilli Honey Sauce
That’s it! Simplicity is key here.
The Steps to Toastie Perfection
1. Choose Your Bread
Start by grabbing two slices of your favourite bread. Whether you love the crunch of sourdough or prefer the softness of a classic white loaf, the choice is yours.
2. Pre-toast Your Bread
Pop both slices into your toaster and give them a light toast. You want to create the perfect base for your cheese without making it too crispy just yet. This step ensures your toasty doesn’t go soggy under the cheese.
3. Add Your Cheese
Place one slice of toasted bread on a baking tray and pile on a generous amount of grated cheese. Don’t skimp here; a cheese toasty needs all the gooey, melty indulgence. Spread it evenly, reaching close to the edges so every bite is cheesy perfection.
4. Preheat Your Grill
While you’re layering on that cheesy goodness, turn on your grill (broiler) to get it nice and hot.
5. Grill to Golden Brown Glory
Slide your cheesy creation under the grill and keep a watchful eye. It should only take a few minutes for the cheese to melt and bubble. Look for that golden-brown hue—that’s when you know it’s ready. Toast the second slice of bread on the grill alongside, so it’s nice and warm.
6. Sweet and Spicy Elevation
Here’s where the magic happens. Once the cheese is beautifully melted and both slices of bread are ready, carefully remove them from the grill. Assemble your cheese toasty if you haven’t already, then break out your bottle of our Mango Chilli Honey Sauce. Drizzle (or douse!) your toasty with as much as your heat-loving heart desires.
The sweet heat of the honey marries with the melty, salty cheese, creating a flavour explosion that takes the humble cheese toasty to a whole new level.
Why It Works
The Hot Honey Cheese Toasty is everything comfort food should be—but better. The melted cheese gives you that stretchy, gooey satisfaction, while the toasted bread adds a crunch that’s just right. But it’s the Mango Chilli Honey Sauce that steals the show. Its subtle sweetness and fiery kick create a depth of flavour that enriches every bite.
