Spread a thin layer of tomato paste on the inside of two slices of whole wheat bread, add kashar, a Turkish semi-hard cheese, and close the sandwich. Toast it until the bread is crisp and the cheese has melted.
Yes. Put the sandwich in a lightly oiled pan over low to medium heat and turn it as each side browns. Covering the pan helps the kashar melt before the whole wheat bread gets too dark.
Tomato paste gives the toast its familiar tangy flavor, while red pepper paste makes it more savory and spicy. Spread either one thinly, especially if the paste is salty, so it does not overpower the kashar.
Too much tomato paste can soak into the bread and make the center soft. Use a thin layer, preheat the toast maker, and avoid adding watery ingredients such as fresh tomato unless you remove excess moisture first.
Keep the cheese away from the edges and leave a small border around the filling. Using a moderate amount of grated or sliced kashar and lining up the bread slices also helps keep melted cheese inside.
Yes, but the toast will be juicier and less concentrated in flavor. Use thin tomato slices and blot away excess moisture first; otherwise, the bread may soften before the kashar melts.
Cook it in a covered skillet over low to medium heat, turning once the first side is golden. Press gently with a spatula if needed, but avoid squeezing hard or the melted filling may spill out.
A simple salad, sliced cucumber, or pickles pairs well with the rich, tangy toast. For a Turkish-style breakfast, serve it with tea; choose water as well if the paste and cheese make the meal taste salty.
You can assemble it ahead, but the tomato paste may soften the bread while it sits. For the crispest result, toast it just before serving; refrigerate cooked leftovers promptly and reheat them until hot.
Yes, the whole wheat bread and melted cheese make it a substantial breakfast, especially when paired with vegetables. Add fruit or a side salad if you want more variety without making the toast itself heavier.

Whole wheat toast with kashar and tomato paste is a Turkish-style toasted sandwich made with wholemeal bread, kashar—a mild, semi-hard Turkish cheese—and a spread of tomato paste. The bread is toasted in a sandwich press or pan until crisp and the cheese melts, with the paste adding a concentrated, savoury tomato flavour.
In Turkey it is commonly eaten hot for breakfast or as a quick, filling snack; elsewhere, it works well as an easy lunch alongside soup or a simple salad. Whole wheat bread contributes fibre, while the cheese makes it more substantial and protein-containing. For a lighter toast, use a modest amount of cheese and serve it with fresh vegetables.
