Sesame bread cheese toast is made with sesame-topped bread and melting cheese, commonly kashar-style cheese. Some versions add butter, tomato, or cured meat, but bread and cheese are the basic ingredients.
To make sesame bread cheese toast, put sliced cheese between two slices of sesame bread and cook in a preheated sandwich press until the bread is crisp and the cheese has melted. Avoid overfilling it so the filling heats evenly.
Kashar-style cheese is a good choice for sesame bread cheese toast because it melts smoothly and has a mild, savory flavor. A young, moist cheese tends to melt more readily than an aged, firm one.
Keep sesame bread cheese toast crisp by using a hot press, limiting moist fillings, and avoiding too much butter or oil. If adding tomato, use a small amount and pat it dry before putting it between the bread.
Yes, sesame bread cheese toast can be made in a skillet without a sandwich press. Cook it over medium-low heat and turn it once the bottom is golden; gentler heat gives the cheese time to melt before the bread browns too much.
Sesame bread cheese toast goes well with fresh tomato, cucumber, or a simple green salad. For breakfast, it also pairs naturally with tea; choose fresh vegetables when you want a lighter accompaniment to the rich, toasted sandwich.
Yes, thinly sliced sucuk can be added to sesame bread cheese toast for a spicier, meatier version. Briefly cook the sucuk first and drain excess fat, then layer it with the cheese so the bread does not become greasy.
Yes, sesame bread cheese toast can be made with other sturdy sliced breads, although it will no longer have the same sesame flavor and texture. Choose bread that holds its shape in the press and supports the melted cheese.
Refrigerate leftover sesame bread cheese toast in a covered container once it has cooled, and eat it soon rather than leaving it at room temperature. Keep the sandwich separate from fresh vegetables or sauces to prevent the bread from becoming damp.
Reheat sesame bread cheese toast in a skillet over medium-low heat or in a sandwich press to bring back its crisp exterior. A microwave warms the cheese quickly but tends to make the bread soft rather than toasted.

Sesame bread cheese toast is a Turkish-style toasted sandwich made by filling sesame-topped bread with kaşar, a mild, semi-hard Turkish cheese that melts readily. The bread is toasted until crisp outside, with the cheese soft and warm in the middle.
In Turkey, it is a familiar quick breakfast, often served with tea, and also makes an easy snack or light meal. Elsewhere, it works well as a straightforward grilled-cheese-style sandwich; pair it with tomato, cucumber or a simple salad for freshness. Bread supplies most of its carbohydrates, while the cheese adds protein and richness. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of cheese and avoid adding butter to the bread.
