About the Hungry Jack's Cheese Toastie

The Cheese Toastie is $4.95 and 1,087 kJ. Tasty cheese on lightly toasted bread, and Hungry Jack's own description of it is one word: simple. It is not available at every restaurant, which is worth knowing before making a trip for one.

What a toastie does that nothing else on the breakfast menu does is arrive fast. There is no patty to grill, no egg to cook and nothing to assemble beyond bread and cheese. In a queue at 7:40am that is the entire argument for it.

The numbers are restrained: 11.3g protein, 11.1g fat, 27g carbs and 412mg sodium for 1,087 kJ. That is around 12% of an adult daily intake, which puts it just above the Bacon & Egg Turkish Brekky Roll and well below every wrap on the menu.

Lightly toasted is the accurate description rather than a euphemism. This is not a pressed, crisp sandwich; it is soft bread with melted cheese through it. That suits children, and it suits anyone who wants something warm rather than something crunchy.

Who it suits: children, anyone in a hurry, and anyone who wants the smallest hot thing on the breakfast menu. At $4.95 it is also among the cheapest.

Pair it with a Hash Brown at $3.00, or step up to the Ham & Cheese Toastie at $5.95.

How to Make the Hungry Jack's Cheese Toastie at Home?

The simplest recipe here and the one most people get wrong, because they cook it too hot. Low and slow melts the cheese before the bread burns. Makes 2 servings.

Prep3 min

Cook8 min

Total11 min

DifficultyEasy

Makes

Quantities as written

Ingredients

4 slices white sandwich bread
4 slices tasty cheddar or 100g grated
30 g butter softened

Method

0 of 6 steps

1. Butter one side of every slice of bread. That buttered face goes on the outside, against the pan.
2. Build each sandwich with the buttered faces out and the cheese in the middle.
3. Heat a pan over low to medium heat. Low is the key word. Most toasties fail because the pan was too hot.
4. Cook three to four minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden.
5. Flip and cook another three minutes. By now the cheese should be fully melted.
6. Lift it out, wait thirty seconds, then cut. Cutting immediately means the cheese runs out.

Tips

Low heat. A hot pan browns the bread in ninety seconds and leaves the cheese solid in the middle.
Butter the bread, not the pan. Buttered bread browns evenly; a buttered pan burns in patches.
Grated cheese melts faster and more evenly than slices if you are in a hurry.

Variations

Add shaved ham for a Ham & Cheese Toastie.
Ham and a slice of tomato gives a Ham Cheese & Tomato Toastie.
A smear of mustard inside changes it entirely and costs nothing.

Serve cut on the diagonal, which everyone agrees tastes better and nobody can explain.
