What is Cheese toast with tomato paste?
Cheese toast with tomato paste is made by spreading tomato paste and adding cheese to bread, then toasting it in a sandwich press or pan. It is a simple Turkish-style toast, often eaten for breakfast, as a quick lunch or snack, and with tea.
The bread turns crisp on the outside while the cheese softens and melts; tomato paste gives it a savoury, gently tangy flavour. Bread provides most of the carbohydrates, while the cheese contributes protein and fat, making it filling but relatively low in vegetables. Serve it with sliced tomatoes, cucumber or a leafy salad for a fresher, more balanced plate. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of cheese and toast the bread without adding extra fat.
