To make Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast, spread a thin layer of tomato paste on bread, add sliced Kashar and well-drained pickles, then close the sandwich. Toast it until the bread is crisp and the cheese has melted.
Sturdy sandwich bread works well for Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast because it holds the cheese and pickles without collapsing. Sourdough or another firm loaf also works; very thin, soft slices can turn soggy from the paste and pickle brine.
Tomato paste is the better choice for Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast because its concentrated flavor adds tomato taste without making the bread too wet. If it is difficult to spread, loosen it with a little water rather than using a watery sauce.
Sliced dill or sour pickles work especially well in Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast, balancing the rich melted cheese with a sharp, tangy bite. Drain and pat them dry first so their brine does not soak into the bread.
Drain and dry the pickles, and spread the tomato paste thinly to keep Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast from getting soggy. For a crunchier filling, add the pickles after toasting instead of cooking them inside the sandwich.
Yes, you can make Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast in a skillet. Cook it over low to medium heat, pressing gently with a spatula and turning it so both sides brown while the Kashar melts without the bread burning.
Mozzarella or another cheese that melts smoothly can replace Kashar in Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast. The result will taste milder and may have a softer texture, so drain juicy cheese well before putting it between the bread.
Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast pairs well with a simple soup, a crisp salad, or a drink such as ayran. Since the pickles and tomato paste already bring plenty of flavor, a mild side dish keeps the meal balanced.
It is best to assemble Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast just before cooking, since the paste and pickle brine can soften the bread. You can prepare the sliced cheese and drained pickles ahead, keeping them separate until you are ready to toast.
Refrigerate leftover Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast in a covered container once it has cooled, and eat it soon. Reheat it in a skillet or sandwich press to bring back some crispness; a microwave tends to make the bread soft.

Tomato Paste, Kashar and Pickle Toast is a Turkish-style toasted sandwich filled with tomato paste, Kashar cheese and pickles. Toasted until the bread is crisp and the cheese melts, it brings together tangy, savoury paste, salty-sour pickles and the mild, stretchy character of Kashar.
In Turkey, it is a familiar choice from toast shops and home kitchens, eaten hot for a quick breakfast, lunch or filling snack, often with tea or ayran. It provides substantial carbohydrates from the bread as well as protein from the cheese; a 100 g portion has 12.8 g of protein. Pickles can make it quite salty, so use fewer and add fresh tomato or greens on the side for a lighter balance.
