A double cheese sandwich is bread filled with two layers or a generous amount of cheese; this version uses kaşar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese. It may be served cold or grilled until the cheese melts, depending on the recipe.
Layer kaşar between two slices of bread, then toast the sandwich in a pan or sandwich press until the bread is golden and the cheese melts. Slice the cheese thinly so the middle heats through before the outside gets too dark.
Kaşar is the traditional choice for a Turkish double cheese sandwich because it softens and melts when heated. Use thin slices for an even filling; a mild melting cheese can work as a substitute, but it will not taste exactly like kaşar.
Yes, a double cheese sandwich grills well and is often toasted for a crisp exterior and melted centre. Use medium-low heat rather than pressing it too hard, which can squeeze the melted cheese out before the bread is evenly browned.
Cheese leaks out of a double cheese sandwich when it is overfilled, pressed too firmly, or heated too quickly. Leave a small border around the bread and cook over moderate heat so the filling melts without being forced through the edges.
Sturdy sandwich bread, sourdough, or a Turkish-style loaf all work for a double cheese sandwich. Choose slices thick enough to hold the generous cheese filling; very soft or thin bread can collapse as the cheese melts.
Keep a double cheese sandwich crisp by using dry bread and avoiding watery fillings such as freshly sliced tomatoes until serving. Toast it just before eating, since melted cheese and trapped steam soften the bread if the sandwich sits wrapped.
Yes, you can assemble a double cheese sandwich ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook it. For the best texture, toast it shortly before serving rather than storing it already grilled.
A double cheese sandwich pairs well with a green salad, sliced vegetables, or tomato soup. Fresh, lighter sides balance the rich, melted filling; pickles also add a sharp, tangy contrast if you want a more savoury accompaniment.
A double cheese sandwich can be part of a meal, but its generous cheese filling makes it a rich choice rather than an everyday light option. Add vegetables and choose a portion that suits your appetite to make the meal more balanced.

A Double cheese sandwich is bread filled with two layers or portions of cheese. In a Turkish-style version, the cheese is often kaşar, a mild, sliceable cheese that turns soft and stretchy when heated. The sandwich may be warmed in a sandwich press or pan until the bread is lightly crisp and the filling melts. It works as a quick breakfast or lunch, and can be served with tomato, salad or a cup of tea; elsewhere, it fits easily into a packed lunch or casual meal.
The bread-and-cheese combination provides protein and calcium, while making this a fairly substantial, energy-rich choice. For a lighter balance, pair it with fresh vegetables or salad, or use wholegrain bread.
