To make Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast, spread a thin layer of tomato paste inside the bread, add sliced or grated Kashar, and butter the outside. Toast it until the cheese melts and the bread turns golden; too much paste can make it soggy.
Kashar is a Turkish semi-hard cheese with a mild, savory flavor that melts well in Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast. Young Kashar gives a softer, milder result, while aged Kashar tastes sharper and saltier.
Yes, but tomato sauce is wetter than paste and can make Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast soggy. Use only a small amount and cook it down first, or choose tomato paste for the concentrated flavor and drier filling typical of this toast.
Sturdy sliced sandwich bread works best for Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast because it holds the cheese and paste without falling apart. Very soft, fresh bread can compress easily, while a thicker, crustier loaf makes a chewier toast.
Yes, a frying pan works well for Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast if you cook it over medium heat. Press the sandwich gently with a spatula and turn it once the underside is golden; excessive heat can brown the butter before the Kashar melts.
Keep Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast crisp by spreading the tomato paste thinly and avoiding watery additions such as fresh tomato. Preheat the toast press or pan, and cook the sandwich until the bread is crisp rather than removing it as soon as the cheese starts to soften.
Yes, you can make Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast in a covered skillet. Cook it over medium-low heat and turn it once; covering the pan briefly helps the Kashar melt while the bread browns without needing a press.
You can add a little oregano, chili flakes, or black pepper to Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast for extra flavor. Keep additions dry and modest; wet vegetables release moisture and can stop the bread from crisping.
Reheat Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast in a skillet or toast press to bring back some crispness and melt the cheese. A microwave heats it quickly but leaves the bread soft, so it is less suitable when you want a crisp exterior.
Yes, Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast can be frozen, though the bread may be less crisp after thawing. Let it cool, wrap it airtight, and reheat it in a skillet or toast press; avoid freezing it while still warm, which can create excess moisture.

Buttered Kashar and Tomato Paste Toast is a Turkish-style toasted sandwich made with bread, Kashar cheese, butter and tomato paste. It is a familiar choice in Turkish homes and toast shops; the paste is spread thinly on the bread, while the cheese melts between the slices as they brown.
Expect a crisp, buttery exterior, stretchy mild cheese and a savoury, slightly tangy note from the tomato paste. In Turkey it is often eaten warm for breakfast or a quick lunch, and can also go well with tea; sliced tomato, pickles or ayran make easy sides. The cheese contributes protein and calcium, while butter gives the toast a richer, more filling character. Use a light spread of butter if you prefer a less rich result.
