Frequently Asked Questions About Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast
What is Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast?
Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast is toasted Kastamonu bread filled with melting cheese, usually kaşar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese. It is a straightforward Turkish-style cheese toast; the bread’s thickness and crust can vary depending on the loaf.
How do you make Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast?
Place slices of kaşar between two slices of Kastamonu bread and toast until the bread is golden and the cheese melts. If the loaf is thick, use moderate heat so the center warms before the crust becomes too dark.
Which cheese works best in Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast?
Kaşar is the classic choice for Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast because it melts well and has a mild, savory flavor. A younger kaşar gives a softer melt; aged kaşar tastes sharper and may not become as stretchy.
Can you make Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast in a pan?
Yes, you can make Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast in a skillet instead of a sandwich press. Cook it over low to medium heat, turning once, so the cheese has time to melt without scorching the bread. A lid can help warm the center.
How do you keep Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast crispy?
For crisp Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast, use dry bread and avoid adding wet fillings such as juicy tomato before toasting. Toast it soon after assembling, and let it rest briefly on a rack or plate without covering it, so steam does not soften the crust.
Why does cheese leak out of Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast?
Cheese usually leaks from Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast when the filling reaches the edges or the slices are overfilled. Keep the kaşar toward the center and leave a border around the bread; pressing too hard can also force melted cheese out.
Can you use sourdough for Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast?
Yes, sourdough can work in Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast if you do not have a suitable Kastamonu loaf. Choose slices sturdy enough to hold the cheese and not so thick that the bread stays cold while the filling melts.
What can you serve with Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast?
Serve Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast with fresh tomatoes, cucumber, olives, or a simple salad to add freshness alongside the rich, melted cheese. For a Turkish-style breakfast, tea is a common drink to have with it.
Can you reheat Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast?
Yes, reheat Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast in a skillet or sandwich press to bring back some of its crispness while melting the cheese again. A microwave is quicker, but it tends to make the bread soft rather than crisp.
Is Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast a good choice for breakfast?
Yes, Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast can be a convenient breakfast, especially when served with fruit or vegetables for variety. If you are making it ahead, keep the assembled toast chilled and cook it just before serving for a better texture.

What is Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast?
Kastamonu Bread Cheese Toast is made by filling bread from Kastamonu, in northern Turkey, with kaşar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese, then grilling it until the bread is crisp and the cheese melts. The result is warm and savoury, with a substantial bread texture and a mild, tangy cheese flavour.
In Turkey, it is a familiar choice for breakfast, a quick meal, or something to have with tea. Elsewhere, it works just as well as an easy lunch or snack. The bread supplies much of its carbohydrate, while the cheese contributes protein; a 100 g portion has 10.5 g of protein. Pair it with tomatoes or a green salad, or use a moderate amount of cheese for a lighter toast.
