Anyone who has visited a Sizzler restaurant over their lifetime will remember the classic cheese toast they serve directly to your table. This soft and crunchy cheese bread was always the highlight for me and I knew I had to recreate it to enjoy at home.

This copycat recipe is every bit as delicious as the original version. In fact, I can't tell the difference between the two!

It's also incredibly easy to make. You'll only need a handful of ingredients and you'll have sizzler cheese toast on the table in no time.

This is a small batch recipe that will make 4 slices of sourdough cheese toast, but if you'd like to make more slices or use larger bread, feel free to double or triple the cheese butter!

WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE...

  • Quick & easy to put together.
  • Carbs + Cheese - need I say more?
  • Perfect nostalgic throwback recipe.

Place a lid on top (if you don't have a lid that fits, try a plate) and cook for 1 minute, or until the bread is soft on the exposed side and golden brown on the side that's against the skillet.

Wipe down the pan with a piece of paper towel to remove any excess cheese or butter, then repeat with another slice of bread. Repeat, wiping down the skillet after each use, until all pieces are cooked.

TIPS FOR COOKING THIS RECIPE

  • If you're planning to use anything other than sourdough, I'd recommend making a double or triple batch of the cheese butter. The recipe as is is small batch and suited to 4 large slices of sourdough bread.
  • Using a lid over the skillet while the bread cooks helps get that signature soft side of the cheese toast. I found one of my saucepan lids fit perfectly, but if you don't have a lid that works try a plate instead.
  • If you have a bigger skillet that fits 2 slices at a time, feel free to cook multiple slices at the same time.
  • Make sure you wipe down the skillet between batches.
  • If you find your skillet is smoking or heated up too much, remove from heat and cool down slightly before cooking your next slice. You don't want your cheese toast to burn!

Mexican Chicken Salad Full Recipe 🌯🥗: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/mexican-chicken-salad/ OR comment with "MEXICAN" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐 I love Mexican food, so it's no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired. This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own. The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour. It's on the table in 15 minutes. Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes! This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook. But totally doable. #mexicanchickensalad #mexicansalad #mexicanrecipe #saladrecipe #cookitrealgood #mexicancuisine #healthyeating
Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴 Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka.

Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this. Here's what you'll need to make this recipe: 8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion) ¼ cup tomato paste 2 tablespoons vodka (optional) ½ cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes) ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 1 tablespoon butter A handful of fresh basil for garnish OR comment with "GIGI" and I'll DM you the full recipe 😁🤗 #gigihadidpasta #gigihadid #pastarecipe #vodkapasta #pennepasta #cookitrealgood #easypastarecipe #easyrecipe
