Cheese & Caramelised Onion Toastie

What is it?

Pressed and toasted sandwich bread with melted cheese and sweet caramelised onion makes up the filling of this vegetarian toastie. Heat softens the onion and brings its natural sugars forward, while the bread gets a crisp, browned surface on both sides. Cheese stays gooey in the centre, melting into the soft onion to create a filling that's equal parts salty and sweet. It sits alongside other hot sandwich options on the counter, but the lack of meat keeps it lighter than the sausage or ham versions. For a quick warm lunch, it covers the basics well, and the caramelised onion adds enough character to keep things interesting beyond a standard cheese toastie.
