Toast with kasar and sucuk is a Turkish toasted sandwich made with bread, kaşar—a mild, semi-hard Turkish cheese—and sucuk, a seasoned, cured beef sausage. It is a familiar choice at Turkish cafés and toast shops, as well as an easy meal to make at home.
The bread turns crisp while the cheese melts around the spicy, savoury slices of sucuk. In Turkey it is often eaten hot for breakfast or as a quick bite, with tea or ayran; a simple salad makes a good side. The combination is filling and provides protein, but the cheese and sausage also make it fairly rich: it has 305 kcal per 100 g. For a lighter version, use less sucuk and add fresh vegetables on the side.

Toast with kasar and sucuk is a Turkish toasted sandwich filled with kasar cheese and sucuk, a seasoned, cured sausage. The bread is toasted until crisp while the cheese melts around the sausage.
Layer thinly sliced sucuk and kasar between two slices of bread, then toast in a sandwich press or a covered skillet. Cook until the bread is crisp and the cheese has melted, without pressing so hard that the filling spills out.
Sucuk is a strongly seasoned, air-dried Turkish sausage, commonly flavored with garlic, cumin, and red pepper. It gives Toast with kasar and sucuk its savory, spiced taste; thin slices can cook inside the sandwich as it toasts.
Toast with kasar and sucuk can taste mildly to quite spicy, depending on the sucuk used. Some sucuk is warmly spiced rather than hot, while varieties with more chili have a stronger kick; the cheese softens the overall flavor.
Keep the kasar slightly away from the bread edges and avoid overfilling Toast with kasar and sucuk. A moderate press helps seal the slices, while excessive pressure squeezes melted cheese out before the bread is fully toasted.
Yes, Toast with kasar and sucuk can be cooked in a skillet. Toast it over medium-low heat, turning once and gently pressing with a spatula; lower heat gives the kasar time to melt before the bread gets too dark.
No, thin sucuk slices can cook inside Toast with kasar and sucuk as it toasts. Frying them briefly first is useful if you want to render off some of their fat; drain the slices before assembling the sandwich.
Standard sliced sandwich bread is easy to use for Toast with kasar and sucuk because it browns evenly and holds the filling. A sturdier, thicker slice works too, but may need longer in the press for the cheese to melt.
Serve Toast with kasar and sucuk with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, or a simple salad to add a crisp, refreshing contrast. It also pairs well with tea for breakfast or a light soup for lunch.
Toast with kasar and sucuk is filling, but it is better as an occasional breakfast than an everyday staple because sucuk is processed meat and the sandwich can be high in salt and saturated fat. Add fruit or vegetables for a more balanced meal.
