Cheese on toast

You might sniff, but there's absolutely a right way to make this. And then there's the yawning chasm of nothingness which is how it tastes when you make it wrong.

You'll need:

homemade bread, two thick slices (or some nice bread, just so long as you don't use sliced white)
mature cheddar - enough slices to cover the bread
worcestershire sauce
a grill (don't even think about toasting the bread and then melting the cheese in the microwave)

Turn on your grill, and let it heat up a bit. Curse the fact you have a ridiculously large oven/grill, and are therefore paying the electricity company the GDP of a small country to grill two slices of bread.

Stick the slices of bread under, and let them get very lightly browned. Lightly, mind you.

Turn the slices over, and place the cheese on top. Your Dad likes his with cheese covering every available surface; I like a bit of edging for a sure grip when eating. You decide.

Slosh a generous helping of worcestershire sauce on top of the cheese. Place under the grill until the cheese is bubbling, and slightly browned.

Eat straightaway. Whatever you do, don't stick it on a plate and forget about it - it'll turn to rubber.
