NATIONAL CHEESE TOAST DAY
On September 15, National Cheese Toast Day savors the cheesy goodness of this classic dish.
Simple but delicious, cheese and toast go well together. A little butter helps everything meld together nicely, too. The crustier the bread, the better. It makes an excellent side dish, but cheese toast also serves up a satisfying snack.
While food holidays aren't in short order on the calendar, we can't surpass them because of the carb count. Cheese and toast perfectly combine to dunk into soup. In the middle of dinner conversation, a chunk of cheese toast waved in the air emphatically punctuates your story, especially when finishing a monologue with a satisfying bite.
It might surprise many to know the treat was created by Del Johnson. In 1958, he opened his first Sizzler restaurant. It was an instant success. And although the recipe changed a bit over the years, the concept of Cheese Toast hasn't. Over 60 years later, Cheese Toast continues to be a favorite dish across the country. With the best cheeses and bread, served up as an appetizer, with soup or with the main course, cheese toast pairs well with many dishes.
