Yes, sourdough bread works well for sourdough toast with Kaşar. Its tangy flavour complements the mellow cheese, while a sturdy slice holds the filling. If the loaf has a very thick crust, use moderate heat so the centre warms through.

Grate the Kaşar or cut it into thin slices, then cook sourdough toast with Kaşar over medium rather than high heat. If the bread is browning too quickly, lower the heat and cover the pan briefly to help the cheese melt.
