Description

Delicate, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these cheese and ham toasts are specially made for children. This quick breakfast or snack combines the mild flavor of yellow cheese and ham with a buttery note on the outside. The recipe is simple, takes about 20 minutes, and yields 4 servings (one toast per person). The toasts pair well with a vegetable salad, apple slices, or a small cup of yogurt; they are visually appealing (golden crust, gooey cheese when cut) and have a mild taste, making them a favorite among kids. The recipe includes step-by-step instructions on how to prepare, bread, and fry, as well as safety and storage tips.

Preparation steps

Preparation

1

Prepare your workspace: lay out a cutting board, a plate for breading, a plate for arranging the finished toasts, and a bowl for beating the eggs. Take out all the ingredients and weigh them if necessary. Measure 320 g (8 slices) of toast bread and arrange them next to each other.

Ingredients: Toast bread
Use a large, flat cutting board and two plates: one flat for the egg mixture, the other for the finished toasts. This will make your work easier and reduce mess.
2

In a bowl with a capacity of about 1 liter, crack 120 g of eggs (2 pieces) and pour in 100 ml of milk. Add 1 g of salt and 1 g of pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously with a fork for about 20-30 seconds until it is smooth and slightly frothy — this will make the batter fluffy.

Ingredients: Egg, Milk, Salt, Black pepper
Use a medium bowl (1 l) and a fork or whisk. Do not mix for too long — just enough for the ingredients to combine and a light foam to form.

Assembling the toasts

3

On four slices of bread, evenly place slices of ham (a total of 120 g) and pieces of cheese (a total of 120 g) — ideally 30 g of cheese and 30 g of ham on each toast. Cover with a second slice of bread, gently press down with your hand to make the ingredients stick.

Ingredients: Ham (cooked, slices), Cheese, Toast bread
Use a cheese knife or grater if you prefer melted cheese. Make sure the cheese doesn't stick out too much beyond the edges, otherwise it will ooze out while frying.

Breading and preparation for frying

4

Take a single layered toast and dip it on both sides in the egg mixture — first dip one side for 2-3 seconds, let the excess liquid drain, then dip the other side. Place the dipped toasts on a plate until all are ready. The goal is for the slices to absorb some of the egg mixture, but not to become completely wet and falling apart.

Ingredients: Egg, Milk, Toast bread
Hold the toast over the bowl after dipping, allowing the excess batter to drip off for 1-2 seconds before placing it on the plate. If the bread is very fresh and soft, dip for a shorter time (1-2 seconds) to prevent it from becoming soggy.

Frying

5

Heat a skillet over medium heat (on a gas stove, medium flame; on an electric stove, set to level 5-6 out of 9). Add 30 g of butter and wait for it to melt and start to bubble slightly (but not brown). Place 2 toasts at a time (do not overcrowd the skillet). Fry for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until the crust becomes golden and crispy. Flip the toast with a spatula and fry for another 3-4 minutes on the second side. The cheese should melt inside; if the edges are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to low and fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Ingredients: Butter, Toast bread, Cheese, Ham (cooked, slices)
The best pan is one with a diameter of 24–28 cm with a non-stick coating. Use a spatula to flip and watch the color: a properly fried toast should have an even golden color, without black burns.

Finishing and serving

6

After frying, transfer the toasts to a rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. Cut each toast in half diagonally to create an appealing shape and reveal the melted cheese. Serve immediately with optional ketchup (60 g to share) and a sprinkle of chopped parsley (30 g) if using.

Ingredients: Ketchup, Parsley, Toast bread
Use a rack to drain the fat instead of placing it directly on a plate — the toast will stay crispy. Cut it only after a short cooling period (30–60 s) so that the cheese doesn't ooze out too much.

Safety tips and storage

7

If there are any leftover toasts, let them cool completely at room temperature for a maximum of 1 hour, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. To reheat — preheat the oven to 180°C, place the toasts on a baking sheet and heat for 6–8 minutes until they are crispy again; reheating in the microwave is not recommended as they will lose their crispiness.

Do not leave the frying toasts unattended. After taking them out of the fridge, be careful when reheating to ensure the cheese reaches a safe eating temperature.

Fun Fact

💡

Toasts with cheese and ham are a variation of the classic grilled cheese and hot sandwich; similar warm sandwiches are popular in many countries as a quick, filling dish for both children and adults.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve with slices of apple or carrot for color and crunch. You can cut the toast into strips (so-called fingers) to make it easier for small children to eat. Natural yogurt mixed with a bit of ketchup makes a good milder dip for sauces.

🥡 Storage

Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. It is best to reheat in the oven or toaster to restore crispiness. Do not freeze prepared cheese toasts at home — the cheese will change texture after thawing.
